Not having played a lot of games much, the only one I remember that
tried to make use of darkness in the images was "Faery Tale
Adventure" on an Amiga. Our solution to not being able to see very
well was to turn up the brightness on the monitor. So, I wouldn't
suggest going to a lot of work to do something that the player can
easily defeat. Just modifying your colourmaps won't do - you'll have
to actually fuzz things or something.
