That is the culprit with such videos. The video is not even sharp, very blurry and recorded without "white balance" and the result is this garbage video, on top youtube "crisp" codec specs. People watch this and think, yeah that is how the old classic looked like. No, it did not look like that, it is just tons of artefacts on a mostly mediocre video. If any, then it is exactly how Vas Crabb already wrote: "If the electron beam isn't within spec, it won't excite all the phosphor components and you'll get a colour cast."
Google colour cast. Asteroids is a black&white vector game, from where should the blue come? And there was officialy no tinting overlay for it. So only god knows, what you guys remember here  .

How can this be better and easier? That is ridiculous and funny. HLSL, BGFX all offer REALTIME controls over colours and you really want to make us believe that this .lay file method is better? LMAO. People are strange.
