	Care to name any?  I've played a lot of games, and some of them
	have graphics that, two years ago, would have left me speechless--
	but I can't think of _any_ that I didn't find either blocky or 
	fuzzy.

	Hicolor modes are not pallette mapped.  Any color cycling 
	(or the like--using it for shading, etc.) is out of the picture
	entirely, and must be done by normal, processor-drawn means.

	Something tells me you wont want to play off of a diskette.
