"Crime Wave" uses the 256 color mode.  It isn't SVGA, just vanilla VGA.
The game has some awsome music and digitized video animation.  Portions
look like a video.  The action game itself is generic arcade.  This is
a commercial ($$) product.

"Bananoid" is shareware or free, I'm not sure which.  It is 256 color
and uses a mouse.  It is a Break-Out style game, but the playing area
goes beyond the screen and you have to scroll the play window.  They
have a neat logo that displays in one corner where the color pallette
(sp?) is being sequenced.

"Bananoid" is available on my BBS if you're interested.  -kef/MM-
