Before I go to sleep, as I should have hours ago......
In 1977, a color/B&W switch was a nice thought to those who didn't have a
color set.
But today, just about everyone has a color set, so the B&W switch isn't
quite as useful anymore.
I suggest that we turn the B&W switch into a PAL/NTSC switch, if we even
use it at all. It might supercede the need for separate versions.
One programming text I have says that to avoid timing problems, movement
should be calculated through fractional tables and such things, "to avoid
major surgery" when converting to PAL. A game with a pal/NTSC switch would
need two such tables.
