Pete's Log: huh?

Entry #1032, (Coding, Hacking, & CS stuff)
(posted when I was 22 years old.)

I'm slightly upset by this: I just noticed that when I'm in MacOS on realloc, I can't set the number of colors to below 256. Now why would I want to set it to below 256? Because Beyond Dark Castle can only run in black&white mode. And I want to play Beyond Dark Castle!

It really makes no sense to me at all that they don't let me go below 256 colors. Normally I'm all about removing legacy from a system, but not when that prevents me from playing my favorite computer games from days long past ...
