/* Graphics */
Most screen shots show borders around the screen, which is a feature of the VIC-II chip. By utilising interrupts to reset various hardware registers on precise timings it was possible to place graphics within the borders and thus utilise the full screen.
The PAL color palette of the C64 differs significantly from the NTSC one [https://x.com/jscastro76/status/1820876067441123706 Source1] [https://x.com/vmisev/status/1664621460642471936 Source2] [https://x.com/vmisev/status/1642238897135529984 Source3]. It is often described as "brownish".Thanks to Tramiel decision to save 1¢ and not to change couple of transistors for the PAL C64. [https://x.com/vmisev/status/1638903342574235649 Source]
