Fun Fact: This same sort of thing also happened on the Classic Macintosh Quadra 840AV, when running in 8-bit (256 color) mode. Playback of realtime video capture reserved color index #243 (a very dark green in the system palette), and ANYWHERE that color was used, it would be replaced with the live video. I created some cool effects using this back in the 90s.

Yes, other Mac AV models did the same thing. I remember doing this on the 6100/60AV that we had.

Are you the one who created the techno-anthem "pump up the jam"? Sweet!

Pump Up the Jam always reminds me of Philomena Cunk.

If you have Netflix, look up "Cunk on Earth". Trust me, you won't regret it.
