To be fair, those were made with the PC-version of Deluxe Paint, so they would probably run well on my 386 with a VL-bus card. :D

The sluggishness on modern systems is more due to the fact that palette cycling died out somewhere between Voodoo 3 and Savage 4.

Oh, and those pictures are bloody amazing!

Well, most modern video cards just emulate 256-colour video modes in the video BIOS/video driver, but you're absolutely right: it's all about programming the viewers properly. :D
