Since we talked about it, why not collect it.

In the Saturn version, farther away water is gradually drawn with more saturation of the given water colour, and also seems to look a bit darker. This creates an effect of murky water which is quite nice, and could be an optional visual feature for later.

Curiously the PowerVR version seems to have had a similar effect on the PC - compare the underwater moment in the Lost Valley demo here: https://youtu.be/J20pDT8Y6Yg?t=51
