The reason why I don't use colour-sliced graphics for this
program is, that the differently coloured body parts don't
stay on the same level all the time. For example: if I use
different colours for the body and the feet and then have
a kicking animation frame, where the body and a foot are
on the same level, the foot or the body would have to change
it's colour. I don't like that. But if you can draw multicoloured
animations, where every frame looks good, I will gladly use them. :-)

Cubis uses Supercharger features. If you run it on an emulator,
you have to make sure, that you start it in SC mode. Maybe you need
to get the 8448 byte version form Nick's website. The options should
be chooseable with the left joystick.

The only part of Cubis, that still needs to be worked on is the
sound and music part, but I currently have no plans to do that
anytime soon.

Fist II is one of the few original C64 games, that I still have.
But that is mainly because it is on the same compilation CD as
M.U.L.E. and Impossible Mission. :-)
