Hack description

Basically - small patch which eliminates STA $2001 = 11100000 making picture bright and colorful as it should be.
My guess is that originally dimmed down picture were intended to make kids' eyes less tired from playing and in my opinion - but sadly results made it go to other extreme - dimmed down picture looks boring.

This patch fixes it.

This is the way to play this game now, wish I had known about this hack sooner.

Great improvementdrunkenjesus2014-10-07-

Great little improvement to an already great game, I've played the game numerous times and wondered why it looked so dull in comparison to many other games this hack fixes the color and makes the game a lot more enjoyable to look at.

Looks Much Betteryoyotheyoshi2014-09-20-

I've actually been working on this game as of late since I missed out on it, unfortunately. I remember enjoying the Felix cartoons when I was a child and I was curious as to how the franchise would turn out as a video game; much to my surprise, it's a sharp, very playable and, even enjoyable, little platformer with charming and interesting little quirks and methods of gameplay.

This particular hack makes the game shine even more and looks better, crisp, clear, colorful and bright, as it claims, and removes the mundane look. I urge any fans of the game to try this out, it certainly increases any enjoyment you may have once had with the original.
