- I have played the game all the way through on my stock 2.8 IIgs. Although the
- Television mode is the fastest, the colour palettes are changing all the time
- from scene to scene, and on some screens it produces quite a confusing image,
- especially down in the caves. My favourite format was the next one, Letterbox.
- The 50% vertical image compression does not produce as much distortion as you'd
- think, and the playing speed is still acceptable. The larger formats are much
- too slow to be practical, although they are very nice to look at.
