Yes. The buff palette wasn't as good but Pooyan wasn't too bad...even 
looked refreshing at the time after seeing every game for the CoCo using 
either Black&White or the green PMODE3 palette set.

I did think the Magenta colored treetop looked weird but as I said, 
there is a patched CoCo3 version that improves this and runs faster.

The color limitations of the 6847 VDG chip were it's biggest limitation 
for the time but it was low cost and many other computers also used it 
at the time.

I was so glad of the CoCo3's GIME chip and it's 16 colors from a palette 
of 64!
