Begging your pardon, but Thexder supports the following, per each of the 'MAIN' files:
MAIN = CGA
MAINEG = EGA
MAINJR = PCjr/Tandy
MAINPS = PS/2 (MCGA)
I couldn't find an elegant way of defeating the auto-detection, via command-line switches, etc. Luckily, the next best thing works:
If EGA is normally detected, simply rename or copy MAINPS to MAINEG (make a backup first).
Per the screenshots I posted above, the visible differences between the Tandy and MCGA graphics modes include the white in the 'Thexder' logo, and the swapping of teal for light blue in the game screens (I actually prefer the latter). Admittedly, I didn't play beyond the first level, so there are likely further differences.
