kkzero should have colored it instead... There's 3 crazy patches (THREE!!!) we have to apply just to play it.
I already did ask him to color Kirby's Dream Land sometime. His response?

He blocked me,

Taking a closer look at the reviews they slightly feel ai generated
Oh, please. Do you really think every reviewer on RHDN uses AI text programs to write? Some reviews are short because the user has not much to say about a hack, or they have little time to write it.

It was just my opinion
Well, back when I was active on RHDN I did write two or three short reviews. Mainly on hacks whose goal was to fix bugs or change other parts of the game (sound, graphics, etc.)

That's precisely why I'm bothered by this FFA color hack and bad color hacks in general. They get games ticked off the "DX hacks to do" list and prevent better colorizations from being done as a result.
To actually label a DX hack as "bad" the approved way is one: play it on original hardware and see if the colors can be seen on an unlit screen. If not, then we can assume it's not the ideal way to play the game.

I'm actually far more interested in seeing someone implement the existing color palettes for the Super Gameboy as colorizations when played on a Gameboy Color. Specifically Pokemon Red and Blue would look much better on the GBC with the SGB colors than the pallettes they're assigned, and the colors for Yellow are far more pleasing to my eyes, specifically on Mew and Mewtwo, than the red and yellow monstrosities we get when played on the GBC. I also really like the Super Mario Land 2 SGB colors enough without needing the DX patch.

The LDX (Light DX) colorizations do try to do such a thing... even though the results are downright terrible.

Wanna see another game that I want to see in color?

Sounds crazy, I know, but the Tasmanian Devil is one of my favorite Looney Tunes characters. What gives?

Hello, and thank you for this very interesting thread.

I just wanted people to know that I'm currently working on a colorization patch for the game "Tiny Toons Adventures : Babs' Big Break" for Game boy, and am leaving the link in case anyone is interested.

It's still an early WIP, but you can see screenshots of what I've achieved so far in the thread.

Have a nice WE!
