Here (Outlook Express) it looks fine.

Well at least in my engine I am really getting to the max. of the VDP. So
the characters won't move all the time (enables me to have more characters
on screen at the same time), more like step, wait, wait, wait, step... etc.
(like in a 1/4 measure).
Enemies are ofcourse invisible (yay).
