Just gave it a quick spin. Loading screens and menus seem to be 5bpls, but ingame is indeed EHB. (Zoned USS file if anybody wants to second guess me

)

Interesting. I only checked the color count of some of the in-game screenshots we have on HOL and they have less than 32 colors.

Are we talking Desert Strike here? If so in the manual states they used EHB mode to bring shadows, smoke and shading.

So i guess if colour count a screenshot with an explosion or smoke over something more than just the desert.

Btw the manual states the cut scenes were drawn in 32 colours.
