ATM (computer)

For compatibility purposes, the original 256 x 192 ZX Spectrum mode is available.

New graphics modes offer expanded abilities:

• 640 x 200 mode, with 2 out of 16 colors per 8x1 pixels. Difference from Profi (computer) is that the ATM can use the full 16 colour set for both ink and paper.
• 320 x 200 mode (16 colours) is ordinary raster mode, but not similar to EGA (it is two-pixel chunky, not planar like EGA). Two games for this mode were converted directly from PC: Prince of Persia and Goblins (computer game), and one from Sony PlayStation: Time Gal. Some other games for this mode exist, like Ball Quest (released in August, 2006).

Palette:

• 16 colors from a 64 color palette (6-bit RGB) can be set for all modes.
