"Arkanoids", released at least two years ago, used 32 colors. Whether they are
"blazing" colors, you'd have to judge for yourself. I think they're pretty
good.

"Who Framed Roger Rabbit" uses digitized sounds for sound effects, for music
background (and it's pretty damned good, I might add) and also for voices.
"Strip Poker" (blush) had digitized voices last year. "Solitaire Royale" (if
that is the name or spelling) has at least one digitized sound (the cheering
when you win).

Overtly it doesn't sound like they're doing ANYTHING that hasn't been
independently before.

From now on, please check your hyperbole at the door.
