@androidarts Maybe not, because green and blue are also used for Virus-affected terrain and Anti-Virus affected terrain, respectively, and those are further up the palette.

But yes, it was Amiga-only, perhaps because it was a 1994 release.

@androidarts My guess is it runs in 16-color mode most of the time for speed, but since the game is paused when a dialog box is up, it switches to 32-color mode to use the other 16 for the dialog box background. It will also switch to dark palette for the entire screen if the game is left idle, as a screensaver.

@androidarts It seems to be 32 color, at least when a dialog box is up - there's a second, darker palette for this purpose.

Normal 16-color palette is 000, 666, 444, 222, 09F, 038, D60, FC0, 700, C00, 060, 0C0, FFF, CBB, 700, FF2. The last two swap periodically. Colors 16-31 are a copy of the first 16. I think color 0 on sprites is transparent.

When a dialog box is up, the first 16 colors are a dark palette of 000, 222, 111, 000, 023, 012, 310, 330, 100, 300, 010, 030, 333, 322, 100, 331.

@textfiles Thanks for all the work! There's even a DOOM level viewer!

If I could make one suggestion, I think the AmigaGuide document conversion could be improved. Currently it creates a PDF with an index of all pages in the document, but the pages contain no formatting or hypertext links to each other. A single-file HTML document may be a better output format, and perhaps the newer "guideml" a better convertor than the default "grotag".

@amigalove Weren't a large number of A500s with serial number 1?

@foone Nobody in the building knows how to set it Fahrenheit, and it defaults to Celsius when you turn it off and on
@defcon201 Likely fake. vx-underground on Twitter confirmed the screenshot was taken from their Discord, but the claim was still being investigated and the veracity of the original source was uncertain. Commenters noticed the HTTPS is broken, the URL format is not correct for Okta's API, and the slurs are too Australian-centric.
