Even this is a little bit more complicated - of course, the original 
Amiga game did not use any anti-aliasing as it ran not in HAM (4096 
colors), but only in 16- or perhaps 32-color mode, where there aren't 
simply enough colors available to do this.

Originally, I got the idea of a 3D animation of Rock 'n' Roll while 
staying with my friend Micha who runs the UAE under Windows 7. Unlike 
the Linux version, the Windows version does not use anti-aliasing by 
default, so the screenshot mosaic I started to stitch together looks 
"low-res" - also because I doubled the size of the UAE window.

Back home, when I continued the work at the screenshot mosaic, I found 
that I also had to install the Windows version on my second operating 
system (also Windows 7), as non-antialised screenshot allowed more 
precise measuring...

And, no, I don't want the 3D animation to look like it was running on an 
Amiga!

See you in Khyberspace!
