@Gaia, nope, Magicians Curse in full multicolor, as you could see on the sprite too it uses 2x1 pixels (second picture of the game).
The most liked part of the Magician's Curse (for me) that the character can go behind some elements, like the bridge's fence or the big grey crosses in the cemetery. With this feature it completely emulates the C64 HW sprite priority setting, I think a very rare feature on C16. Too bad, that no bigger and more complex 64K game used this outstanding software sprite engine.
In fact TCFS's engine is more advanced, as the main sprite is hires (better resolution), can do that hires/multi change on the fly, and the collision detection seems to be much better too.
