The tiles used in the normal pitch in Kick Off 2

The pitches in the games in the Kick Off Series are stored on the floppies using a technique called tiling. Two files are used for each pitch: A bitmap which contains a number of 16 x 16 pixel tiles and a tilemap which holds indices into the bitmap. The size of the maps are 80 x 96 tiles and consequently the size of a full pitch is 1280 x 1536 pixels.
