I haven't got a color monitor yet, but I had a question about color Mac games
in general.  How many colors do they actually use?  I have SimEarth and have 
had occasion to play it on a color machine.  I remember getting a message 
saying that SimEarth works best in 16?-color mode.  It didn't lie - the thing 
was painfully slow in the higher-color mode.

Do any games out there use full, 8-bit color?  24-bit? (I wouldn't think 
there'd be much demand for 24-bit games.)

Thanks,
David.
