A friend of mine and I have a bet going. Neither of us currently own PCs,
though I am planning on getting a 486 this year. He has stated that he
does not believe that most IBM games <read: released within the last year
or 2> utilize a 256 color mode, and may use far fewer colors, ie 128 or
even 64. I argue that it would then no longer be a VGA game. Anyone wanna
help me settle this bet? :) 
Email only please, since I dont want to spark a flame war, as if there was
a lack of flames in any of these newsgroups.
