Quite original scroller. Hard to read but still interesting. Thx for the story Annatar.

Banda (now known as Bonefish) and I rubbed elbows and studied together at the university. He did a lot of innovative algorithm implementations for effects on the Amiga in his day; then they would show up three months to two years later from other countires. The scrolltext says, in Purger dialect (which is now almost all but extinct): “Greetings to everyone from the last intro and don’t hold it against me (us).” the last part is written in neutral form, so it could be either “me” or “us”. I should probably explain at this point that Purgers are the natives… Read more »
great tune and a nice scroller – had to concentrate a little too hard to read it for my fading eyes and brain’s liking at times though.

BTW, Banda / Reality is one of the very few Croatian Amiga sceners still active to this day. Nowadays he goes by the name Bonefish (Nah-Color, Insane, Desire, Amiga Birthday Committee, …) http://janeway.exotica.org.uk/author.php?id=13668

120 Y positions to create the ARC
120 Y-SIZE numbers to create the stretch
120 X-READ-Offsets to get the X position from the scroller to create the X width squashing/stretching

Nice one! The zik is legend, of course. Hmm.. is this scroller a color cycling thing or hmm something else..

In remembrance … always loved and do remember that paco/dynamics tune … Guilty as charged D
Nice scroller effect, but I think it is to narrow, making it hard to read.
Nice tune!! 🙂
And you are absolutely right. Sins of our youth, someday I might rectify this particular one, even though it’s not even mine.
That scroller gets a thumbs up from me.
Interesting take on the copper scroller seen many times, looks quite fresh here.
original idea for the scroller, nice tune
