    Amigo, about your idea of "removing" the background whenever there's a color clash (I mean, the idea you're talking about): did you check out Karnov? Might do what you have in mind, sort of. I seem to remember they "used" color clash in a kind of nice way.

    Yeah OK sorry cyborg, that last post didn't say what I really meant, and sounded wrong. I mean, anything on a screen that is moving (like a scrolling background) can be generalised to a sprite on the speccy.

    These screens will use too much Spectrum memory, even if you use tiles. So I think, 128K versions of these games could be done with some background simplifacations.
    By the way, what art package do you use to make these great fake screenshots?
