Mmm... how about: try writing a shoot-em-up, where all of the sprites and game logic sit in the top 8k of a 32k pair of pages, and has 16 screens which are all pageflipped together to scroll the background image. It *can* be done (I've mocked up examples of it in the past, but never got around to writing it) .. the page flipping will even let you do full-on parallax scrolling canyons if you do it right (but they're harder to write back to the screen when you wipe the sprites off). You can even wipe to different backgrounds on the fly that way, between bad-guy waves... Want to give it a shot? Simon
