I'm disappointed in you...you never thought of that!!! :) (just kidding).
On something like that, it would work.  If you were writing a Duke Nukum
game, the setting would be perfect for this...only they would have more
than pages 1-4 to work with (lessee, 320x200=64000/2 pixels per byte,
32000, 256000/32000 = 8 pages).  On the EGA, this works well...they have
double the storage.

Now, Commander Keen on a VGA (if it were VGA) could only have 2 pages.
Period.  In fact, there would be no room in VGA memory after this (i.e.
you have to have something to pan onto...I've written something like
this before).  However, on an EGA...you would have your 2 scrolling
pages, and 4 more pages on top of that!!!
