You don't even need to use dual-playfield for this... just use one bitplane for Intuition and arrange your colors so that bitplane is always ignored.

I really wish there was a 2+4 or 1+5 dual-playfield mode as well as the regular 3+3. -- Peter "Have you hugged your wolf today" da Silva `-_-' 'U` "Really, a video game is nothing more than a Skinner box." -- Peter Merel
