The graphics are reminiscent of old BBS GIFs, back when 240x160 res, etc., was all the rage, and the only "animation" is palette shifting. Not worth breaking your back for. All that said and done, I still got a geekly thrill when I popped Information Society into my 3DO and realized it recognized CD+G.
