Hack description

This hack has been created in order to restore colors that were lost in the Master System version of Mortal Kombat II.

The game was actually developed with the Game Gear in mind, and the Master System game has Game Gear palettes converted on the fly from 4096 colors to 64 colors, which often leads to duplicate entries.

This hack updates all palettes for backgrounds and characters (player 1 and player 2) to the best capacity in order to restore the lost gradients. Also edited are Jade, Kintaro, Shao Khan and Goro's Lair. All three stages visuals were slightly modified in order to switch some colors with others, in order to improve the quality of gradients. The Tomb was updated with an orange-ish tint to keep the best visibility possible for the characters, especially Jax and Shao Khan which shared most of their colors with the background.

I hope you enjoy !

Version 1.1 : fixed Lui Kang's Fatality, which was using other dedicated palettes.

Version 1.2 : discovered that Smoke was actually available in this version, I also fixed his palette.
