No.13975 AJR Developer Jul 13, 2017, 12:58	I'll mark this as fixed because I know I fixed it in commit 652f39f9a78519b9bab26cf10cb14b469070a0a3. This bug also affected the headlight in chwy. The way colors for these are determined is still fundamentally wrong, though. This isn't really a sprite so much as a pen modification effect, which also differentiates non-tunnels from tunnels in chwy and is probably responsible for colors being incorrect at times in many games on this HW.
