Title: Off Shore Warrior question
Post by: SharkusMaximus on 22:57, 13 July 22
Quick question for you all regarding Titus' Off Shore Warrior. If you look at the screenshots for the CPC version on https://www.mobygames.com/game/cpc/off-shore-warrior/screenshots (https://www.mobygames.com/game/cpc/off-shore-warrior/screenshots) you'll see that the water is distinctly red. However, fire the game up or watch a video on YouTube and it's a more normal blue. The title screen on mobygames has the name Rubi in the top left corner, so is this hacked or is there another version out there? Fingers crossed some knowledgeable person has the answer.

Rubi is a cracker, so a cracked version was used to grab screenshots. :( It was fairly common for crackers to change the colours on title screens (for better or worse), but it's rare for it to happen within the game as well!

@Nich Well, thank you so much for clearing that up. I figured that was the most likely explanation when I noticed the name, but it's nice to have it confirmed. Jolly good show, sir.

Crackers have no respect about the original work, that all. :-\

I remember my version having blue water.
Here's a screenshot :
