: : I'm not talking about pause darl, I mean there's a clear difference in
: distance shading between the original in an emulator like sheepshaver and
: the Mac OSx app.

: A lot of that is due to the 256-color limit on the original, and the way
: shading worked with so few colors.

The exact dithering algorithm was only available in 68K assembly. I did like the distant shimmer effect the original game did, and it would certainly be a point of nostalgia, but decoding that is a bit beyond my skill set.

Taking perfectly timed screenshots is much easier in the original app under emulation because it will "pause" when a menu is held open without triggering the dimming effect.
