Has anyone noticed that when castaway loads games a plethora of colors and stripes run all over the screen durring the load. Is that normal, or is this only happening to me...
I think that happens because of the Atari ST, it happens on my PC Atari ST emulator too. I might be wrong though, I've never played an actual Atari ST.
Those colors happen when a game is being de-compacted. Games in those compilation disks do that as they are compressed similar to a self extracting zip file. It is something the hackerz put in there to show you that the game is doing something and hasn't bugged out and/or because it looks cooler than a blank screen. They did this on the C64 as well.
hehe I remember loading up Good old Amiga Games that did this hehe... Brings back memories of playing Stunt Car Racer ETC on the amiga when it does this
