I find hard to imagine VGA etc doing fast animation as the ratio of CPU access
speed to Video memory to Normal memory is not good (about 1/10 the speed).

Hope you find them, they'll need to be pretty fast and efficient/
BTW what machine are you using? 386 or 486 you are probably ok, but a 286
is just too slow for useful animation.

Personally I use an Amiga (ah,ah no flames please ah,ah)

ha ha,
