Yes, emulator was the first time.

And on PAL, PMODE4 B/W wasn't B/W unless we turned the TV color adjust 
to zero. We did get a sort of artifacting but not the same as NTSC. We 
had no solid red and blue regions. For PAL we got vertical stripes of a 
dirty magenta and green. It looked crap... hence why I turned the TV 
color off.

I often questioned why the Color Computer was called "Color" Computer 
since so many games looked like this.
