Game Engines and palette effects

[puggsoy]

I'm not sure what sort of effects you're talking about (haven't played the games you mentioned), but chances are that if you can't find a game-making program with a similar function built-in you're better off writing the game in one or other programming language instead. It's harder but it offers much more flexibility and you'll be able to do everything you want pretty much exactly how you want.

Of course, which language to choose depends on a bunch of stuff.
