Dale, The one game that is guaranteed to mess up is a game called "Drip". I don't know if it is up here in the library or not, but it is an excellent game, verging on commercial quality. The concept of the game is similar to a PacMan, except your character, "Drip", has to rust away the pipes that the bad guys are using to drain away your "party juice". Anyway, every so often a bubble floats by which your "drip" character can catch a ride on. It is the sprite for the bubble which distorts. The other game I notice it on is a Missile Command clone. It is also public domain, although I don't remember its actual name. I got it off of PeopleLink a long time ago. I suspect that the "cities" and "home base" may be sprites and the "home base" is the one that gets the random blocks of colored pixels in its neighborhood. Whap at ya later.
