  DM>> Some time ago I wrote a little intro. There were a background (using
  DM>> only 2 colors for "technical" reasons ;)  And there were some BIG
  DM>> letters flying by te screen. There were 3 "sets" of this letterls 
moving
  DM>> at the same time. Ones were red, others green and others blue (yes, 
very
  DM>> typical, i know) and they intersected betwen them giving yellow in the
  DM>> intersections betwen red and green letters, cyan when green and blue 
and
  DM>> so on... I did this by using bitplanes and the correct palete. I also
  DM>> used a hardware scrolling to move all the screen. Ah! And one note 
more:
  DM>> I did it in 640x480-16c. ;)
  BM> All right... specialized application of graphics features... I'm sure 
you
  BM> could do a more impressive intro in 256c...  However, you've made your
  BM> point.
  Yes, but it's a quick and really nice high resolution intro that worked OK
