BAK background or border color [COLOR4]/[COLBAK]

A logical OR is done to the colors of players 0/1 and 2/3 when they overlap. Only the 0/1, 2/3 combinations are allowed; you will not get a third color when players 1 and 3 overlap, for example (you will get black instead).

If put together into a 5th player (set Bit 4 to '1') the missiles get the color of register 3 [COLOR3]. They still move independently, e.g. set their horizontal positions with [HPOSM0] - [HPOSM3]

!!GTIA Modes
