Games with active palette usage for the gameplay

[emkay]

How many games do you know, were using the Palette in an active way, to enhance the visuals on the Atari? 

Or better : What games do actively use the palette to add the gameplay content?

 

The most known game could be Archon. 

It uses the available brightness steps to have a clean indicator for the balance of the given strength.

 

 

 

The night and day cycle in Rescue on Fractalus is a nice gift. Not just a color jump...

 

 

 

 

 

The Great American Cross Country Road Race adds a real weather feeling.

Particular the Fog simulation is great:

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Rescue Expetition now adds some lightning FX. 

 

 

And there is the not yet finished game "Albert"

Using the rainbow background for an additional parallax effect.

I always liked how the day turns night on Satan's Hollow...

Aquatron is another night-to-day and back again effect, complete with rising and setting sun and moon in addition to the palette changes. Beautiful game on many levels.

I'd have hard times to add Stealth/Landscape , as it uses the palette rotation for generating a faster depth movement.
