I remembered that Helen Hots' car was red and roofless. That's good enough for me. :)

Here is one. Guess away! :D

By the way, how can I post a bigger version of this? Or is the thumbnail enough?

Thumbnail is fine. You can click it to get a slightly larger image.

So here's what I think...

Background in the window... that sure looks like a lot of grass! And that planet has no grass (that we see!)
Item missing from the second shelf (no idea what but it looks vacant)
The color of the I Heart U thing is off.
The skylight, I think is also color changed, which results in the color on the skull being changed?
In the display something seems to be missing to the far right.
Some of those cards also look like they've been recolored?


The one I am most sure of is the I <3 U sign... because I think SQ3 is 16 color?
And I don't think that's one of the base 16 colors.

Mostly just guesses:

The skull in the upper right shouldn't be there?

Did you change the eyes?

The text on the penant?

Correct! The view from the window was pink and purple dots. I changed it to green and blue dots.

Sorry, incorrect. I didn't do anything there.

Correct! The "I Love" flag was yellow with a red heart. Now it's pink with an orange heart.

Correct! The Kermit postcard on the right was light-green Kermit on a dark green background. Now he is light grey.

Now, as for NBS's guesses ...

Sorry, that skull was always there.

Well spotted! I made a subtle change -- Fester's eyes were black-and-navy-blue. Now they are black-and-indigo.

Yes, Tawm also spotted it. The "I Love" flag was yellow with a red heart. Now it's pink with an orange heart.

There is one more thing that both of you missed. :)

I guess no-one wants guess what else you missed? ;)

The gems in the display case below Fester are pink in the picture above. In the original, they are green.

Feel free to post your own image. Or if not -- take a look at this one:

I think some of the characters look wrong. The woman that looks like she is kneeling I don't think shows up in the woods. The man dressed all in white looks wrong too.

Is the text box supposed to be surrounded by ivy?

The coloring on some of the trees and shrubs look different. Were they added in?

That's all that I have.

Is is CGA? I thought CGA had 2 color modes: black, cyan, magenta, gray or black, green, red, yellow. This looks like half and half.

The man in grey should not be there.

The man in black (lying on the ground on the left) should not be there.

In your picture, Robin is looking to his left (i.e. at Little John). He should be looking to his right (at Friar Tuck).


That's all I have. :) Sorry I can't see anything else wrong with this ... :(

Between the two of you, you pretty much got it all.

- The man is grey should not be there. He appears in another screen. I photoshopped him in.
- The man in black also should not be there. Photoshopped in from another screen.
- Robin is facing the wrong way (making it so his bow hand is incorrect)
- There is something wrong with the text box - not that it's missing Ivy (I think that's only Robin who gets that?) - but the color of the inside was changed.

The trees were not touched, however.

Aye, CGA - same screenshot from here:
https://www.mobygames.com/game/147/poli ... os/325398/

Which says:
"Police Quest 2: The Vengeance (DOS) screenshot:
Begin the game outside the police station (CGA)"

That said, I don't see any differences in the screenshots. lol

(I remember a game - pretty sure it was CGA as well - called "Dragonworld" - https://www.mobygames.com/game/1283/dra ... shots/dos/ )

So it is CGA. I just looks different from other color palettes that I've seen.

Hmmm ... I'm pretty sure that:

1. There's no dead guy in the cave. (Mark Hamill, is that you?)

2. The cave has a green and brown floor, not pink and brown.

3. Roger enters the cave from the left, not from the right.


I hope I'm right! *crosses fingers*
