In short: OCS/ECS amigas have limited bandwidth. You want 32/EHB colors? Expect limited framerate or smaller screens. You want full screen? Expect 16 colors or dual playfield. You want mayhem? Expect 16 colors, dual playfield AND limited framerate OR 32 colors but small screen AND limited framerate.

Did shatter the expectation i had as a twentie but considered results i can live with it.
