Here's a 9 color conversion at 80X200 resolution:

Cannot help, it looks like the main character is wearing a bra now... ??

where is your mind... that's an awfully tiny and very high 'bra' but now that you mention it... the power of suggestion.

Well, his name is Avon, so maybe he's trying to identify with the beauty products line?

 

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

See, this is why sometimes you have shift images left/right a pixel to get the best approximation....if you don't you end up with a bra on...but not on your head like Weird Science movie

 

Thanks for doing the conversion, I can't remember how I did it, probably a 4 colour per scanline double width pixel mode using an Amiga PCHG/palette swapping mode image converter with colours per scanline set to 4.....this looks much better and proves, as usual, that more colours is always better than doubling of vertical or horizontal resolution (i.e. 100% increase, doubling both would be a 200% increase). This is why the Amstrad game library with 50% 320x200 4 colours no rasters (back then) is so horrible due to cheap ass 'Spectrum' conversions.
