There were a few games that used it, some of them basically doubling up the pixels as an ordered-dither approximation of VGA/MCGA 320x200x256 mode (there are, IIRC, 136 unique combinations of 16-color pixel pairs, not accounting for order, so it's reasonable enough if you squint just right.) I do have an RL and can try it, but I'm targeting the more common mode first. Shouldn't be difficult to modify once I have it functional. (You could actually do a simpler, more performant version if you *did* treat it as functionally 320x200, since your "pixels" would be whole bytes, but I'm not gonna bother with that.)
