This is what comes of poking around with various console image formats - you end up playing with all sorts of weird encoding schemes 
Interestingly there's some effects that only work well in indexed formats, like the colour cycling you get from touching the smoke rings (which is trivial to do with a palette but hard with any RGB format).
