Dark Chambers 7-21-88

 

 

This is a very late WIP version of the PAL port of Dark Chambers.  This rom was compiled from source code and only has two changes from the final version both of which deal with color.  In this prototype the background color is black instead of light gray and the playfield color isn't as bright.  It's unknown why Atari changed this in this final version, but this colors in this prototype make the game look less washed out.



Prototype Differences
The background color is black instead of light gray ($00 instead of $02)
The playfield is a bit darker (decreased LUM value)
Due to the background being black, the Grim Reaper enemy is now gray so he doesn't blend in with the background
