I received Pyro! with my Suitcase II upgrade and by chance COULDN'T get the
fireworks to kick in.  Instead I got a (nice-looking) analog clock hopping
around the blackened screen.  I called 5th Generation Systems to find out how
to get the fireworks, instead.  I forget what they said because I soon got
Moire (which I prefer).  However, you do have 2 screen-blanking options when
you get Pyro!

Just FYI.
