Hi, has anyone experienced this? It runs fine in OS 9.2.1 and under though

I find that a lot of games in later os do not properly switch to 8-bit when needed, try switching first, then entering the game.. same happens in classic

Even with my desktop in 8-bit colour mode it runs like this.

what video card are you running in it. i remember seeing something that certain drivers dont fully support 8bit correctly. or try updating to the latest video card driver and see if it fixes it.

or maybe its a compatibility issue

I`m running with a Radeon 7000 32MB PCI, using the latest drivers (2005 update). I remember right after installing OS 9.2.2 running the game with my old Rage 128 16mb with original drivers it still had messed up pallete (I used both an original and a Rev.2). If you guys know of anyone who has the game and is running with OS 9.2.2, please let me know.

then its a compatibility issue with that game and the way Os 9.2.x handles 8bit colors. and unless there is a Patch for Os 9.2.x you are prolly out of luck. i would try to install OS 8.x if you want to play it. that might correct your problem
