So I just got a great deal (or so it seemed) on Alien Brigade for the 7800. I turned it on and the colors all seem to have a washed out green tint to them. What does this mean? The game works fine, so I hesitate to think this is a PAL cart. Any suggestions?

Hmmmmm....I guess this is a new one.

Any suggestions?????

So are you saying it looks different than these?

Yes. the brown ground looks greenish. Everything has a cast of green over it. Not sure what to make of it.

Other games look fine (some, not all). All 2600 my games have perfect color. 7800 games seem to have this problem with some titles and not others (never noticed this previously). For example, the same thing is happening with my Commando. I use several other systems on this TV as well and they look fine. I am perplexed!

Hope you are able to figure out the problem, Alien Brigade is a fun game from what I have seen.

Thanks! I am gonna try to hook up another 7800 tonight and see if the same problem persists.

Aren't there two pot adjustments in the 7800 for adjusting the color tint. One for the 7800 and the other for the 2600 games.

I'm not sure, but what baffles me is that some of my 7800 games look just fine, while a handful have this green tint problem. Strange???

I use a commodore 1702 and I had a similar problem and a very minute tint adjust fixed the games that seemed off while not affecting the games that looked fine before the adjustment.

very interesting.

There are a couple of pots inside the unit, yes. Probably best for the OP to bust open their 7800 and fiddle with them, especially if other games are demonstrating the same problem.. that is, provided they have determined it's not their television/monitor that's causing the issue.

Is that a light gun game? Where can I get that game ??
