Isn't OCS capable of displaying 16 colours on a hires interlaced screen?

Here's a side by side comparison from latest ScummvM using hq shader.

The sprites have seperate palettes and the screen fades need the AGA chipset.

Don´t ask me why they didn´t use the original 256 col. screens, though...

maybe they did the files smaller because this game runs in 32 colors or 64
a screen of 32 colors is much faster than a 256 colors specially in 640x512

or perhaps they did the game smaller to fit in 11 floppies,
there is a floppy version of this game too, however in HOL says only CD

It was released only on cd. You may be refuring to a pirate cd rip that had to be hd installed. I'm not sure any amiga publisher would have been mad enough to release an 11 disc game in 1997

Edit: After thinking about it some more, actually only Islona may have been mad enough after then 1998 10 floppy release of Sixth sense

Actually it would have been 20 disks, based on the current disk sets (CD-rip indeed) available in TOSEC:
Big Red Adventure, The v1.2 (1997)(Power Computing)(AGA)(M4)(Disk 01 of 20)[HD, CD rip]

I'm almost sure there is a real floppy version in 11 or 12 disks ( not a CD rip)
I seen in an old amiga warez CD but in this moment do not remember which one
I will confirm it later

Nope!
It was CD only.

Does the game open a 256 colour screen? If so maybe the 256 colour pc files be used for backgrounds on the Amiga version.
