The only game I can think of that actually put it to good use is Final Fantasy. When you lit up an Orb, it would create a "beam of light" from you charcter to the upper-left corner of the screen. It accomplished that by turning on/off monochrome mode every scanline for the effect.

Other games uses it for flashing -- like when lightning strikes, a game might flash to monochrome mode for a frame -- or when you enter a battle in FF3 or something I think it flashes in and out of monochrome mode -- but those effects could be done by just changing the palette.

Yeah man sorry about that layout, I seriously forgot I had put that there before I posted. I'm still trying to extinguish the flames but I'm still getting some PMs from Metal Knuckles trying to get some reaction out of me. Much love for everyone.


My God, it's not the layout I was reacting to. *slaps head in exasperation*

Either way, you acknowledged your behavior, and I'm all good with that right now. That was the only "reaction" I was aiming for, so don't worry about any more PM's. And being from Mass, I do believe that being a Dickhead is on my birth certificate somewhere.

Boh, monochrome mode is good for the retro feel. If you could play Frogger with the blocky frog or Frogger with the 3d-animated frog, and presuming that both ran with the exact same engine, which would you go for? I garuntee that at least half of the community would go for blocky, all for the nostalgia. This might not be the same case, but it's more or less similar. And while some blocky Frogger fans wouldn't go for it, I still bet a percentage of the community would.

Edit: Quotes fixed.

Ah, so that's why most emulators don't flash correctly, I never even thought about it using monochrome to achive the effect.

Yeah, I'm sure that now, monochrome is good for a retro feel, but I was more spaking about why the NES would have such a feature in the first place. When the console was made, wouldnt't the idea be to push boundrys and be more hightech, not make a feature in the system that allows you to be less high tech?

Isolated Warrior uses monochrome mode to make the screen flash when you shoot a boss.

As for the color de-emphasis bits, Super Spy Hunter enables all three when you pause the game, and The Immortal leaves them on all the time in order to darken the palette.
