In part 5 of the UNREAL demo, it looks like more than 256 colors are
displayed at once (this is the part with the rainbow-like colors).  
Is this true?  If so, how was it done?  I have a few ideas, but I don't
even know if it's possible.  Perhaps if the palette were changed 60 times
a second (every time the screen is refreshed) then the picture would
look half-decent.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
