up to 200%..... i still need 300% Gamma.... just to see

it's really... amazing... how... retarded... one person... can sound...
by... typing... like this...
lol.
in all seriousness, chances are it's your monitor. the quality of a monitor
(flatscreens and CRTs alike) can degrade from many things: time, sunlight,
dust, etc. the effects of these range from simple flickering to complete
degradation of visual quality. i'm guessing that the monitor is simply on
it's last legs and that it's time for a new one. if that's the case, i'd
recommend searching out a 17" or 19" flat CRT; they're moderately cheap and
much better for games than lcd/plasma flatscreens are (those tend to produce
a lot of motion blur; not good for some of today's fast-paced 3D games).
though a bit more costly than a typical CRT, the flat ones offer a better
picture that doesnt warp or bend around the edges of the screen.. check
pricewatch.com or newegg.com for prices.

there's a patch for ETM, on their website but the game still kinda bites.
All I've heard are complaints. I had the same problem either too dark or too
bright. but with the patch, it's at least playable, if hours of chopy
gameplay and sketchy controls are your thing...
