Or what is the best program to use?

I use corel draw for all my graphics.... but would this work ok for making graphics for CD games?

you can use every program you want but only 15colors (+1 transparent) are possible for tiles or sprites.

so basically 16 colors in all?

What file format is the best?

Well, the first color cannot be used in the image, as it will not be seen. It's used to mark areas where the background will show through. Due to the way that some programs change the palette, I normally use RGB value of 0,0,0 for color zero and say 4,4,4 to represent black.

I normally use 256 color PCX (with only the first 16 colors used), because that's what my tools support.

The default tile size is 16x16, so the image should be a multiple of 16x16.
