As you all know, Plus/4 World includes in its pages all the remakes of a game since years

Ever loved the Kichy's refurbished version! 
MMS: the +8 trainer doesn't include the color fix because it's arbitrary arguing and we cannot know if that has been a mistake or a straight decision of the author himself, whereas the Ghosts 'n Goblins case was different: there we have graphics explicitly built in order to be displayed as MC 
Chronos: yeah, that's the objective of these cracks, happy to hear that!

Sorry Kichy, I was not aware there is such a version. Even not aware of C64 version!  
I thought there is no color fix as the newest +8 version also come with green face
Strange, that such a professional SW house as Kingsoft released this game in this way.
(Fun fact: even the javascript version was released with green face LOL)

Yeah, really no one was bothered by my color fix :/
The game uses original FF16&17 colors (which, IMO, garbage values).
Partially offtopic:
Taskforce also has screwed up colors. It may come from the fact some graphics were came from the C64 version, and other graphics were drawn exclusively for the C16 version. And, these use not the same multicolor bit combinations for the same shade. The author set the colors for the C16 graphics, and it screwed up the C64 imported ones.

| Ghost town colors
Actually I always found the Ghost town colors rather strange.
Green face and shoes? Pink hear and trousers?
So I always thought, that the colors are somehow mixed up.
Knowing the multicolor fontset limitations, it is not a big surprise, but I am curious, if a similar bug as in the Ghost&Goblins (multicolor vs normal fontset), made the color setting so weird?
