I've thought of doing something like this, only using the playfield (40x50) and "ChromaColor" to get four gray levels (draw each frame twice with two brightness levels and depending on how the pixels overlap... etc.) At two pages per frame you should be able to at least get a funny 1 or 2 second loop of some kind in there, and in fact it should be easy to write a program using perl and ImageMagick to convert a sequence of pictures into a runnable ROM. The only remaining question being, will it cause epileptic seizures :) 2K of my Boing demo was 8 monochrome frames of animation, so I've sort of already done the character one - feel free to mess with that if you like. (At the time I didn't actually know how to do a 5 character display, so I used the six character one and just wrote zeroes to the last player. In fact, now I'd probably do the same thing since I'd just waste those cycles anyway in that kind of application.)
