In the early days of Atari the upper management wanted to show that the Atari 2600 was a COLOR Video Game System.
The result? No game would be released without a colored background. This led to the bright colored backgrounds in most of the early releases. The bright backgrounds can lead to blurred images and eyestrain.
The solution? Change the backgrounds to black. The black background gives the game more of an 80's arcade look and makes the graphics stand out better.
Welcome to the BLACK SERIES where I will do just that. I will be taking some of the early releases and converting them to black backgrounds while leaving the basic graphics and gameplay unchanged. If you have a game that you would like converted, just drop me an e-mail or reply to this post.
