| TV-LINK |
The TV-Link is a device that allows the player to connect his/her Supervision
to a television screen in order to play games on a larger display. A blue
border surrounds the game screen. The TV-Link predates Nintendo's Super Game
Boy, a product which provides a similar experience.
A different color palette is applied to the games when they are used with the
TV-Link. The result, in popular opinion, actually looks worse than the Supervision's
own LCD display. Some games also have speed, sound and/or display issues when
used with the device.
Though a full range of different colors can be projected from the TV-Link
through clever programming, none of the officially released games exploit
this “feature.” Two different models of the TV-Link were produced:
PAL and NTSC. The colors are accessed differently between models.
As illustrated in the instructions, the TV-Link was designed for use with
the “bendable” versions of the Supervision. However it will also
work with the other versions (sans the Magnum) albeit with slight changes
in performance.
When the TV-Link and the Supervision inside it are both powered on, the
Supervision's LCD screen displays the following graphic:
