[Ohrrpgce] Fufluns released! ...

[Ralph Versteegen]

Also, how should non-320x200 backdrops be positioned? Currently, textbox
backdrops and I think "show backdrop" places these backdrops aligned to the
top-left corner of the screen, while the titlescreen and battle backdrops
are centered. Perhaps we should change this. It would be best to add a
textbox option to position the backdrop.
