Actually the Yaroze makes it easy to do (comparatively speaking).  You would
use a dynamic tim type routine that points to the bounding area of the
backdrop and sort that tim as a sprite (or use it as a texture).   That way
you have the effect of resident evil with only a small amount of problems.
Does take some tricky programming to get it just right, using objects that
are very arbitrary in shape.
