Bad use of colours in Spectrum games

PopoCop · April 2017

I'm preparing an article about colourful Spectrum games. I have many examples of good use of colour but I also need examples of bad use of colours.
So please give me examples of games which are too colourful, games where colours are badly chosen etc.
I've already found those titles:
Jack and the Beanstalk + 2 sequels,
Slowglass,
Turrican 2.

Bubble Bobble has some very ugly rooms.

I always found Strangeloop overpowering. Even the map at WOS has a second version in monochrome.

Tantalus and Terminus completely overdo it in the backgrounds too.

The cyan border in Tomahawk always irritated me. I wanted it to be black - the light colour took me 'out of the zone'.

Some Dinamic games (After the War, F. Hardest in South Manhattan, Satan, ...) use only black & white in the playing area in spite of the use of overall good graphics.

Knightlore didn't use colour very well at all, most disappointing. Head Over Heels did it much better.

What about Strontium Dog?

Fahrenheit 3000. That was an eye-melter (I know it was kind of the point but some screens were hard to look at)
