OLIVE OYL - GIANT (NTSC/PAL)

 

In the first and second level the character OLIVE OYL was resized in gigantic size. Character traits inspired by the What if series rsiddall . Hope you enjoy this homage to your series for the 2600. Thank you

Strange. Does this only happen in the first stage? Does it affect the setting and characters of the game? Test this version with changes to some colors from the first stage.

Are you using the console in the original RF mode or the composite video mod? I'm deducing that the interferences
 may be a result of the RF module, if the console has not been modified.

Have you tested it on another TV?

 

[Bomberman94]

Original unmodified console and CRT (B&O MX4000). This are definitely no interferences but can check on other TV.

I ran a test yesterday on an unmodified console and what I get are the 3 levels in black and white. Already in the modified console the colors are balanced.

Will check on an Atari junior (unmodified) and different TV. I will probably have time by the weekend at the latest.

Those color issues are caused by odd number of scanlines on some PAL TVs. Older models just show a B&W image in that same situation ("PAL color loss").

Same behavior with other console (junior) and other TV - seems to be the scanline problem described by @alex_79

One last try?
It could be that some lines of NTSC programming, present in previous versions, are conflicting with the scan lines for the PAL system.
 This is a full PAL version.

Can now confirm that everything‘s fine now (tested all 3 screens - last one has normal size Olivia, right?).
