Screen resolution and colour tricks of Thalion games on the Amiga

I've had a look at games with a high number of colours to see how they did it:

• No Second Prize
  Gives an impression the game is in 26 colours. But it actually appears to be a 16 colours game screen and a 16 colours dash with shared colours palette to make the two blend. The new screen starts where the last line of the 3D road meets the HUD.

• Trex Warrior
  Getting complicated now. 87 colours on screen in this one, more elsewhere. It actually has three seperate copper fades going on, adding to the colour count: One for the sky, another for the sea, and another for the sun. A seperate screen with its own palette for the HUD and I'm betting the 3D is actually 16 colours (due to the lack of chunky, as we all know).

• Lionheart
  184 colours going on here: Two seperate copper fades, later you get some water reflection like in Fire & Ice. In areas with no copper bars/ reflection....it's in plain old 32 colours mode.
