The colors in PAL look better than I expected - at least on I don't know, what it looks like on a real NTSC VCS, but according to the programmers guide you hvae chosen light blue, dark blue and torquise for the sky the sea and the shadow. It might be better, if you use the same hue with different luminance values for them. >It's likely that I screwed some other things up. Does it have the >correct number of scanlines?
