Boom! (Atari 2600)

I can't find the post now, but I think someone said that the PAL colors were too yellow?

Here is a version with some alternative PAL colors - let me know if this is an improvement?

Mmmh - I would say no changes in PAL colors (maybe walls are a little bit darker 🤷‍♂️). But still very greenish overall tone.

Thanks for the screenshot - it does look rather green!   Here are some different background color variations - can you let me know which you think looks best (the number at the end of the filename is the PAL color value)?

Here are screenshots of each version directly from my CRT (in the correct, ascending order). The first one has a different color but I like it because it has nice color (maybe a little bit too dark) and a good contrast as well as the most beautiful rock color (maybe it could be selectable in the menu to choose a different theme?). 

 

It is hard to tell what is the best/most fitting but I would go for the darker ones. Problem is (if i compare with the NTSC version) that the rocks looks too green and therefore too similar to the rest.

I like #1 and #6

I prefer #2 and #4 (extremely similar to each other), which to me look nearly as contrasty and more vibrant.

 

EDIT: this looks fantastic, and #1 and #6 are certainly good options.

I really enjoyed watching this Interview.  I've played Boom! and Zeviouz and they are both great!  The ability to use both buttons in Zeviouz is great, this is the definitive version of Zevious now for me.   I've never enjoyed Zevious until now.  Boom!, how creative!  I really enjoyed the added game mechanics as the levels progress, and I think the ability to continue is very nice!  Thank you Chris!  Just Fun!
