Why 2^8? A rather odd choice for this celebration, since I can't think of anywhere where it is useful number. Granted you get 8-bit palettes, but I can think of nowhere else using the number. Please do correct me if I'm wrong, though. _________________

It is also a very common number in old games.
For example, in Metroid, the max numbers missiles was 255(including zero it is 256). It is the maximum 8 bit number, I believe. _________________ YR modder/artist, DOOM mapper, aka evanb90
