Yep, sure was. And the PAL colour was very "washed out" compared to the NTSC
version (my brother had a tristandard TV and went to a lot of trouble to
convert his europlus to the original 2+ frequency to produce a true NTSC
signal, so I've seen both). But, to be fair, PAL signals (for television, not
simple computer graphics) are better and thus a bit more complicated to produce
than Never Twice Same Colour.
