Batman the Caped Crusader

[STE86]

The Amstrad loading screen for this Ocean game was a 4 colour port of the Chas Davies spectrum version, and while dark and moody it lacks the colourful "pizzaz" of its 8 bit cousins.

So as an option for you, here is an amstrad conversion by myself of the c64 loading screen done Chaz's sister Karen Davies, who was one of the best c64 artists that ever did Ocean work.

Good one, I alway regreted this game was that much speccy ported it is a great shame actually.

Nice pixel/antialiasing touch.
Sadly, the recolored picture use 17 values...
And again here, a dark cyan will look better than grey.

To me it looks like a MODE 0 screen using 5 colors (white, black, blue, yellow and brown). Yes, like on an c64.

cheers for the heads up TotO. that'll teach me to check after doing final editing with 2 colours that look so damned close on a CRT screen. the 2 lightest cyans in this case. (the image in the OP has been swapped)

I have changed the grey too. You may well be right in this case, though I tend to avoid the "dark cyan" because it  usually gives the old amstrad "any colour you like as long as its blue" problem we all knew well back in the day.

anyway its exclusive so anyone not liking the blue/grey can just swap it for the neutral grey in an editor.''

Hehe! Sure, "light cyan" and "pastel cyan" are close. 
Dark/pastel cyan have to be used for greyscale, never for blue.

After, it's a personal "taste"... I would have written "TM (c) DC Comics Inc 1988" in white to be more readable.
And to look less "blue", you may use framed "dark blue/cyan" instead of the dark blue Batman body too.

But, it's nice like that!  
Artistic choices can't be discuted, only shared.
(and, your antialiasing work may look good on a real CTM)

Blue is good for the batman of this era (= not dark knight yet, but comical Adam West like kitchissimo).

This looks really comic-y. A lovely job!!
