From Romhacking, which provides a colour fix for this game:
"Contrary to popular belief, this isn’t the fault of the brightness register. What you see in the game is how the palettes are actually stored in the ROM."

I have my monitor set to absolute lowest brightness and low color intensity to not burn my eyes at night.
These look solid black to me XD

The opposite of early Gameboy Advance games.

@PixelCrunch Bug in the game.

Back to the Future Part 3 on the Genesis was the same but at least that one has a bug fix patch that can be applied to the ROM.

Ocean were basically the British LJN/Acclaim when it came to incompetent publisher & developer.
They had a lot of bad licensed games for Amiga and DOS, where they were a bunch of crappy minigames based on popular scenes.

@Mr. C All I can think of was a last minute programming change that caused the palette bug. The Ocean and CTA logos are fine in terms of the palette but everything else isn't. Even the back of the box had brighter screenshots except the fourth one (but still brighter).

Ocean weren't know for their quality control as they released a lot of games, many of their games are literally get the game done by this deadline and screw it if it doesn't work properly (or not paying their developers), a few games are literally broken.

@Ton: Oooh, that kinda’ dark. I though you were saying it was dark like creepy, or something.

I actually have an old issue of Disney Adventures (June 1994) with an ad for this game in it, and the screenshots in the ad aren't dark like this. I wonder what went wrong...

Why is this the darkest game I've ever seen?

The game looks like it has some fluid-ish animations for the title.
