may i ask how fast the cpu of the lynx is? i can tell you that atleast on the 
c64 and the atari, none of the effects you mention can be done at reasonable 
speed by plotting pixels into a bitmap (like tgi does). starwars scrolls are 
a traditionally "hard" discipline in the (8 bit) demo world, and require LOTS 
of effort to run even half decent :)
