Highest on-screen colors screenshot

[Keranu]

In my opinion, less colors are almost always better. Many colors usually mean that there's a lot of shading used, and I hate shading!

So does that mean Adventure for Atari 2600 with its three colors on screen looks better than Final Fantasy III for SNES with its 100+ colors?

Is there anything about video games you do like?

Here are some of the counts i got for pc engine games

magical chase us version: 1 st level 110 (alot of the colors come from the ton of sprites in screenshot)
Fatal fury 2 mai stage: 114
beyond shadowgate: 125 (from one of the shops with item menu in view)

These are all in game color counts.

Do you have any uber colorful screenshots from Tokimeki Memorial that you can post Keranu? I won't try beating something until I see proof. 

Of course

I got these screenshots from NEC-Ro-Pole, if you guys remember that site. They're from the program the author made which catalogued all of those screenshots.

Keranu, these screenshots won't load for me. Can you please e-mail them to me or something?

I emailed the screenshots to the email in your profile.

That is an awesome picture, ccovell. Did you draw it?

Thanks for the compliment!  Yes, I drew all the art in the pic (minus the sake puzzle graphic...)

Welp, I guess awack beat my find. 125 is the new record.

can someone check some rayxanber III screenshots? i believe there have to be used a lot of colors in some stages, altough the palette is kept in narrow variations.

how about sapphire?

There's got to be an official Turbo or PCE game that beats the Genesis' 160+ colors onscreen for Toy Story.  I don't care if it is "in-game" or a static shot.  We must find it!  Didn't Ys 3 have some high-color screens during the intro?

Anyone know how the genesis actually got around the color limitation?  (software tricks, but how does it fool the hardware?)

[Tatsujin]

static pictures (titlescreen etc) are much easier to trick than ingame backgrounds/sprites.

I remember checking Rayxamber III before and recalling it being around the 70 color range. I've checked Sapphire before also and got mixed results, but can't remember any high point. I'd imagine Sapphire can get up to 90.

[Tatsujin]

I'd imagine Sapphire can get up to 90.

but which is quite high, regarded to the sheer incredible action which goes on the screen

Rayxamber III just looks awesome period.
