I envy you William!
Back in the CoCo1 days, I always wanted to see the color artifacting on
all those CoCo games but alas, artifacting only worked on an NTSC TV.
On a PAL based CoCo and TV, they were downright ugly and actually looked
better with the color turned off on the TV.
Along came my CoCo3 and with this I had the CM8 monitor. So sharp and
rich colors!
But the old artifact CoCo games only came out with B/W stripes.
When I finally got my hands on an NTSC CoCo3, I found that finding an
NTSC TV/monitor almost impossible here in Australia.
Nowadays, TV's can do both but artifacting doesn't work on LCD TV's! (Is
that right?)
So I've never had the pleasure to see those glorious extra 2 colors in
PMODE4. :(
