I have modified GetSystemPaletteEntries to return the standard 20 color Windows
palette entries every time. The results I have seen are astonishing. The
problem was that GetSystemPaletteEntries was returning the all (0,0,0) palette
entries and Army Men was passing those palette entries to DirectDraw
CreatePalette. The hack by Pavel Prochazka worked because the palette entries
were passed by reference, hence the function CreatePalette modified something
outside. If you try to copy the palette entries inside DirectDraw
CreatePalette, and modify the copy, you will see a black screen again.
