Graphics card and/or faster CPUs support higher detail pixels and higher quality screenmodes for graphics.

Requirements: ECS/AGA chipset, 68020 CPU or better, 2MB ram or more.

[4] A range of patches and other goodies for GLOOM DELUXE players are also available on Aminet:

(a) Enhanced chunky to planar (c2p) routines optimised for 020/040 CPUs and Akiko (CD32 only) to make the game faster on machines using the native chipset (dir: game/demo/GloomC2P10.lha).

(b) An AGA colour fix for ECS machines with gfx cards (dir: game/patch/Gloomcolourfix.lha).

(c) An AGA patch for window play for machines that don't use gfx cards (dir: game/patch/GDWindowPatch.lha).

(d) Trainers, world/level selectors and cheats that give players infinite lives, weapon powerups, invulnerability, choice between different game levels or worlds and a lot more.
