[Coco] Interbank Incident for Drivewire

[L. Curtis Boyle]

It should just involve patching the game itself. If Interbank is using either display graphics commands, or normal bitmapped graphics, then a PMODE 4 style artifacting screen is identically set up to a PMODE 3 style 4 color screen. You would lose "subtle" colors (yellows,etc.), but it should work fairly well. I know I had patched Biosphere the same way many years back, and it worked fine.
