The Atari ST is a pretty straighforward, sort of standard machine, which is probably why it has the power and following that it does. Anyway, on this account you should check out general computer graphics texts--they have a number of quite inventive things to speed graphics to "arcade" quality. You might also try a trip to the local arcade--sometimes it's interesting to sit around and try to figure out how some of the animation is done. Eric
