Revision as of 11:38, 23 June 2015

The following is a list of games which make use of PPU register $2001's colour emphasis bits (D7 to D5):

Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II rapidly sets and clears all 3 emphasis bits to flash the screen when going into a battle screen
Noah's Ark (E) uses blue emphasis combined with grayscale mode to put part of the level underwater.
Super Game's Aladdin uses red emphasis to tint the screen during gameplay, and all 3 emphasis bits to dim when paused.
Bubble Bobble for the Famicom Disk System uses red emphasis to tint the screen throughout the game, which is absent in the cartridge releases.
The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy uses it in the beginning when the scroll is unfurled.

The following games set all 3 emphasis bits at once to dim the screen:

Felix the Cat
The Immortal
James Bond Jr
The Jungle Book
Just Breed
The Lion King (E)
Magician
Super Spy Hunter, when paused. The Japanese version Battle Formula doesn't do this.

Wall by Chris Covell uses a blue emphasis to simulate the water flooding the wall.
Graphics editor by Damian Yerrick allows applying a SCREEN TINT to the picture.
Munchie Attack by Memblers dims the screen upon Game Over.

Rockman 4 Minus Infinity (during Brightman's stage) darkens areas farther away from Mega Man.
