I vaguely remember being able to hack it to display an animation…

The image itself was 320x400 bitmap and the animation was done through palette cycling.

All these years later, there is an answer to years of lounging. Thank you for the closure. :)

I can remember as a kid downloading executables that claimed they would do this for you. In retrospect they were probably just malware…

IIRC the bitmap was saved as a .sys file to make it a secret for some reason.
