- PROBLEM: VIDEO: Pallette is messed up.
- SOLUTION: Basically there is a problem with the beginning movie when starting
- the game in 256 colors. When entering the game in 256 the palette is
- incorrect and looks corrupted. If you leave the game and go back in
- the problem can not be repeated. If you initially run in thousands
- of colors the problem is not there. -NK (from Chris Archer)
