@brooke Right. The thing is, the game has a VGA mode, the intended mode, which uses the same 16 colors as the Amiga original, and the Atari ST port. Screenshot attached. So why it has a special palette that *only* shows up on VGA machines, but *only* if you run the game in EGA mode is a bit strange.
Commemorate Senator Joe Lieberman's passing by playing 2 out of 3 games he named in his hearings, on DOS: Mortal Kombat and Night Trap.
"We're talking about video games that glorify violence and teach children to enjoy inflicting the most gruesome forms of cruelty imaginable." - Joe Lieberman (1942 - 2024)
Worst part about not having neither a partner nor a cat is when you're sick. All of sudden the house, which is normally 100% your comfort zone that you don't have to share with anyone, feels so empty & quiet. Nobody is coming to cheer you up. 😔
Loved seeing Amelie on a big screen again after 20 years. I'm glad that the film is so overwhelmingly positive that I, now being older, more cynical & sad, still find it incredibly impactful. However, I was a bit surprised to see that the "restoration" looked exactly the same. It exhibited all the imperfections one would expect from one of the first films that was color corrected & mastered digitally. Just a fresh digital transfer, basically. So today I went looking...
And it turns out I was right. Found an interview with Jean-Pierre Jeunet from 2 weeks ago that says no remaster was done because of a "guy, very mean with me, refused to pay for the elements 23 years ago (...) and I cannot kill this guy because he's already dead." So basically Amelie only exists in a 23 year old 2K digital master, and that's it. It felt that the sound mix remained the same too. But the English subtitles have been punched up a bit.
