Re: Asteroids Deluxe backlight

The only problem I have with BBL (blue, the dark common vers) is that
a heavy amount of "screen background" from the CRT is reflected. I
see the outline of the CRT along with the Vectors. This CRT
background reflection occurs even with the monitor off and the
blacklight still on. Wasn't this recently addressed however? Sorry
if I missed it. I do recall a post about possibly using automotive
tint.....did that help reduce or eliminate that effect?
