You can try running gray.com program before running the game. I programmed it with debug. It just calls an INT10h function to perform grayscale summing in VGA. It turns everything grayscale.

That was interesting. Unfortunately it turned the ball grey too and I couldn't see it to hit it.

Thanks for the program though.

Anyone else have any ideas. A program that can be set to change a color into another color before running the game?

Try ykhwong's build (http://ykhwong.x-y.net) and set output to Direct3D. It provides lots of D3D pixel shader modes (like e.g. amber, green, orange, cartoon etc.).

couldn't you just adjust the monitor settings when playing this game?

No matter what monitor settings I use, the green is still an ugly flourescent color which is hard on the eyes.

Low-tech solution would be to wear red-tinted glasses perhaps.. Alternatively, you could probably do something with a similar effect by adjusting the color components in a graphics driver. Depending on how you installed your driver, you may or not have it.. but it should be possible to get an adjustable color graph that would allow you to turn down the green.

el_pusher's idea is interesting.. It could be solved in that way, but would take a bit of effort.

Actually ykhwongs dosbox build was a good idea. With the Direct3D and one of the pixel shader modes the green was more tolerable, but out of 3 games i played with it, 2 games froze up, something the original dosbox has never done.

Well then use gulikoza's build, he implemented the whole d3d stuff
and puts up compiles every now and then.

Unfortunately gulikoza's build also froze up and gave a microsoft error when playing the game.
