bennybingo Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 So I just got a great deal (or so it seemed) on Alien Brigade for the 7800. I turned it on and the colors all seem to have a washed out green tint to them. What does this mean? The game works fine, so I hesitate to think this is a PAL cart. Any suggestions?

bennybingo Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 So are you saying it looks different than these? Mitch Yes. the brown ground looks greenish. Everything has a cast of green over it. Not sure what to make of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 TV needs adjustment? Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennybingo Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 TV needs adjustment? Mitch Other games look fine (some, not all). All 2600 my games have perfect color. 7800 games seem to have this problem with some titles and not others (never noticed this previously). For example, the same thing is happening with my Commando. I use several other systems on this TV as well and they look fine. I am perplexed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One for the 7800 and the other for the 2600 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I use a commodore 1702 and I had a similar problem and a very minute tint adjust fixed the games that seemed off while not affecting the games that looked fine before the adjustment.

There are a couple of pots inside the unit, yes. Probably best for the OP to bust open their 7800 and fiddle with them, especially if other games are demonstrating the same problem.. that is, provided they have determined it's not their television/monitor that's causing the issue.
