Yeah! Those were cool! You could use exactly the same sprites, but
change the palette, to produce what looks like different sprites. :)

Oh, that brings back memories of X11 running on 16-color EGA with a
palette... some applications would rewrite the palette in order to
better display a high-color image, so when you moved your mouse into the
window, the rest of the world turns into psychedelic colors, and when
you moved your mouse back out, the world turns sane but now the image
turns psychedelic.
