Repton 2 colours
Posted: Tue Dec 04, 2018 4:54 am
I played BBC Repton 2 from an SSD file on an emulator recently and only one of the screens was red, but I also saw BBC Repton 2 maps online at reptonresources and the colours seemed to match my memory of playing it on a real BBC computer, with screen D (and some others) being red too. I also saw a forum post by AJH talking about how the code for the colours worked, but I'm not sure I understood it right.
I also saw on the repton resources page screen D was blue in newer platforms like Archimedes and RiscPC.
I played all the versions I could find from stairway to hell, and only the Electron version (which otherwise looked quite different) had it. Even the tape version with the missing diamond had a blue screen D.
Does anyone know if there was a different BBC version with a red screen D?
