I got a talk with the Pang programmer, the famous Pierre Adane.
Pang displays 64 real colors. the screen is splitted in 4 bands each with its own 16 colors palette (4x16).
Toki is more complicated and a feat since they did it with only 512kb of ram. with 1mb of ram, the screen window would have been bigger in size and the sprites a bit too. Like pang, the game uses 2 palettes in some levels, cleverly changed in parts when the player cannot see the trick (ex: sea level with neptune boss) the palette change occurs when you fight neptune. they faked a dual playfield too, great feature
Ghosts'n'Goblins is arcade perfect (out of color limitations), capcom gave to elite the original assets for GNG. And it shows
