You sound like a person who's never played Pioneer Plague.  This is a HAM
arcade/adventure game that is colorful and FAST.  I haven't seen another
game on *ANY* other machine that can match this one for the sheer amount of
color on the play screen at one time.  It's quite amazing and available
from Antic Publishing for $39.95.

GET PIONEER PLAGUE and make your VGA buddies weep...
