First of all, thank Chronix for their efforts to improve this game, although it is quite likely that I was unaware that there was a hack published by Ti years ago that does almost the same thing.

And when I say "almost", let me explain: what Ti's hack does is fix a bug in the programming that caused the dull tone of the graphics. In the case of this patch, the changes appear to have been implemented manually.

In short: Ti's hack restores the game and makes it look exactly as its programmers intended it to look in the first place. The Chronix hack on the other hand, takes several liberties based on the author's aesthetic criteria.

Personally, I think that this subtle difference allows both options to coexist, and I advise users to make their own comparisons to decide which one suits their tastes.

I never knew I needed this patch until I tried it and I honestly don't see any reason to ever go back to the dimly lit original again.
