disabled_by_defaultDue to increasing levels of AI scraping putting incredible strain on server resources but Cloudflare's under attack mode being a bit too heavy-handed to leave up 24/7, we're trying a new way to combat these attacks. By default, all traffic will be challenged but logged in users will bypass those challenges completely. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause as it was never our intention to try to force registration and you certainly still don't have to - passing one of those challenges should keep you in the clear for a half-hour otherwise.

There is no doubt in my mind this is the only game the Sharp X1 is remembered for.

I probably should have said "oversaturated".
we all have moments where we're stupid.

@LapisLink I don't think these can be considered pastel colors, considering that pastel colors generally have low/medium saturation, and many of the colors used in these sprites have maximum saturation.

Is it weird that I sorta like the graphics in this game? Not completely but I think "pastel" colors (if you can call them that) look nice.

The bright colors are still agonizing, but at least it's not the NEC PC-8801 version.

Okay, this might be better than the NEC PC-8801 version.

@Faizal786sunny Well actually there is a third one, but sadly, it has been lost to history.
