im looking for other games like the muncher that use double height and width graphics with colouri havent come across this type of graphics mode on the spectrum before and would like to know if there are any other games that use it.
On the subject of 2x2 pixels, the sprite in The Muncher is 1x2 though. I'll assume the routine to draw the sprites is slightly faster this way and it may not have been for memory reasons as the game needs 128k anyway. -
