French Postcards! The way it worked was that there
were two pictures, one
loaded into the first hi-res page and the other loaded into the second
hi-res page. The two pages were then alternated to produce "animation".
The obnoxious part was that it would play this loud trill between each
page flips, so if you were trying to be discrete there was no chance of
that.
That might have been it, but I remembered it being more animated
cartoonish video. Some kind of a story went with it (the two ladies came
home from the store pulled the salami from their bag, and wondered what
they could do with it).
The art quality was around that of ArtWorx's Strip Poker game.
And I don't recall their being sound with it, but I could be wrong.
The whole thing only ran 30 seconds or so IIRC.
I'll have to look thru one of the online A2 archives... someone must have
it imaged somewhere.

Yes, French Postcards is what it was called. The pictures were all
drawings.
Another scenario featured a woman bumping into a guy working at the post
office licking envelopes that had a rather large tongue. Another was a
lady, her maid, and a bottle of champaign. I forgot what the last one
was.

There were different versions. One version removed the obnoxious sound.

I've still got it on disk.
