Not sure if I am posting in the right section, but here it goes. I just bought an Area 51 arcade. I looked up cheats and tips... I tried out the Kronn hunter mode. The screen looks for lack of a better word Like the Predator's infrared vision. The characters all look the same, but everything else is hard to see. I can see shapes of the Explosive barrels and the shape of the ammo crates, but its hard to differentiate the one i have already shot from the ones I have not shot yet. I find it hard to believe that this is supposed to be a benificial mode. I am thinking that there must be something wrong with the game that will not display the right colors in this mode. I have looked for demo examples of this cheat mode with no success. Any body have any ideas??
 
That is how it looks on all the copies that I have seen. It is harder, but more fun. I am also a fan of the fact that it puts a different symbol next to your high score.

As a side note, this should be in general discussion.
 
Wise from your gwave! (and maybe get moved to the right forum...)

I entered Kronn Hunter mode for the first time just now, and my colors aren't screwed up. The overlay graphics (ammo, grenade, health, etc.) have the weird inverted colors, but the actual video doesn't. This is on the Area 51/Max Force combo (V2.04CJ), and I have a CF card kit installed. Has anyone else had this experience? It's not a big deal, but it does take away most of the point of the Kronn Hunter mode.

I had an older version of the game before I upgraded to the CF kit, but I never tried to enter Kronn Hunter mode in that version to see what would happen. Now I don't want to pull the roms and revert it just to find out :p

Edit: Looks like I'm not alone after all?

Edit 2: Huh, according to this site, the reason the Kronn Hunter mode doesn't work correctly is because the Area 51 video was re-encoded in an updated version used for Maximum Force, interesting.
