I will just say this, the game was so dark you couldn't see ANYTHING of whatever was going on. The hack does exactly what it claims to do and after applying this to a BIN/CUE copy of the game there's no way I'd go back to the original. Do yourself a favor and use this hack if you want to play the game. It's a great game because it was made by Ron Gilbert, so play it! | |||

First of all, I haven't done a thorough gameplay using this patch, but from the few scenes/levels that I have tested so far this patch is an absolute improvement over the original color palette with its dark tonality, something which always puzzled me as to why it was implemented in this way. On a side note, I can't say if there are bugs associated with the patch, I can't seem to notice any so far anyway. The only thing different that I noticed immediately, which seems of no consequence whatsoever, is that the "loading" wristwatch icon is missing the animation just after the game boots up, it gets straightened back a few seconds later though. So far so good. Kudos to the author for improving this gem after all these years. | |||
