Hi Dark, Yeah, that's exactly the type of thing I was talking about. Of course, there was no need for Megaman to change color when he used a boss weapon, but back then I just thought it was cool. However, it was that sort of showing off and rapidly changing colors that impressed the heck out of those of us who grew up witht the first black and white games. I also see how that might accidently have became an accessibility aid for you.
