Colour-emphasis games: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:06, 23 December 2015

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

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.
Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II rapidly sets and clears all 3 emphasis bits to flash the screen when going into a battle screen
Lagrange Point uses colour emphasis combined with grayscale bit to do a very cheap fade-out effect when switching to and from the menu on the playfield
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.

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

Felix the Cat
The Immortal
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Taito), story scenes and some action scenes.
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.
