These guys are amazing – they use old school video game animation techniques for palette swapping to animate some images in HTML for a browser. You will want to look at this site in something other that Internet Explorer (which sucks badly these days) as IE will just throw some crappy error about needing a plugin because HTML 5 is a bit to high tech for it to grasp. Either way if you are old enough to remember old PC gaming like King’s Quest or Monkey Island then you will appreciate just how cool this really is.

Again realize that this effect is done entirely with html.
