[net.micro.atari16] games and the RF modulator

moore@NCSC.ARPA (Moore) (10/16/86)

Has anyone noticed that *very* few reviews of games (and software in general)
for the ST mention what the thing looks like through the RF modulator?  For
instance, can anyone tell me if The Pawn is enjoyable on a color TV rather
than the monitor?  I doubt any store owner is going to let me borrow a package
for the night in order to test it on my TV, and monochrome is all I could
afford (and besides, I like it).  

I would be very interested in hearing from you if you've successfully or
unsuccessfully run a commercial package, game or otherwise, on a home TV.
Thanks for your comments.

I too have only a monochrome monitor. The only program that I have run
on my TV is Neochrome, and it is very blurred. The text is also hard
to read. I don't think that using your TV for a monitor is a very
workable idea. If anyone has experienced otherwise, let us know.
