  • Now I love demos... when they are imaginative and try new things. But ones like this drive me up the wall. And why is there over 9 minutes of basically the same effect? NOTHING CHANGES!

    And I couldn't care less what the scroller says, either.

  • This was done in about two days at a ST party so it's not really going to be of the best quality.

    I like reading scrolltexts and I might be the onyl person who does.

  • Whattaheck was the first demo I saw on the STFM. I liked Spyornas screen.

  • I think everything that moved with any fluidity on the original ST back then was preshifted. Even in-game sprites tended to be preshifted, but never by 1 pixel (cost too much memory), which is why games sprite movements were typically very juddery.

  • the problem was, you could get scrollers that had free games on them such as pompy pirates and automation, then there were the other scrollers that you could buy from the public domain that never had the free games on. So what was it to be, get scrollers with free games on and pay nothing or buy a scroller for £2+ with no games on ????? lol!

  • I like reading scrollers.

    And as far for the screen being not imaginative i disagree. First of all its really old. And in the old days the ST scene loved showing off their coding skills instead of their design skills. Later they found a balance.

  • I remember disasseembling this, to see how it was done. just 1000's of repeated movem.l's with pre-shifted grafix. Regards, Neil of Cor Blimey
