       The video was a direct 1:1 digitization of the original laser disc arcade   
   game, and 4-bit greyscale captures detail best. Much like Ron Mercer's   
   Mini-Movies or the DreamVision demo. Edward Armstrong talked about   
   being part of the team that worked on the GS version (see the thread   
   "Dragon's Lair for the Apple IIgs" from March 2022).   
      
       The Readysoft version digitized static backgrounds from the laser   
   disc, but were *heavily* touched up and reworked for 16 or 32 colors.   
   Ditto for anything that animated atop those backgrounds. This prototype   
   version was simply going to playback raw video/audio, like the arcade.   
      
   >Also, first I've heard of a IIgs version of Kung Fu Master.  Has anyone   
   actually seen that?   
      
       It was probably "Sensei" from Miami Software in France. That was   
   more a clone of International Karate, I think he simply mixed up the name.
