This cracktro shows that the technique used later on SNES and Megadrive to do those parallax scrolling floors like Streetfighter 2, existed back in 1988 on Amiga.
Mr. Mega Mind was ahead of the curve.
…danger…oldschool alert… I can remember that one from my very early days on A500 and got reminded of it when I saw a similar effect (= (perspective scroll) in an old intro from Defjam(?) and Mr. Mega Mind a year or so ago. But searching for the original was a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack because I could not recall the name of the group “CBC”. I only knew it was something French.

This is simply awesome. Freddy/CBC was a great coder from the Amiga early years (and thanks to Mr Spiv for pointing out some of his demos to me years ago). I love everything here except the logo 🙂

Who is “MMM”???
Mister Mega Mind of Dexion.. dude behind a lot of cool scrollers.
Yeah the scroller was ahead of its time…
@newton you can download the original source code here
This may help you understand how it was done
fantastic! awesome music, and even today i am not sure how i would make that scrollroutine?
I loved every bit of this back in day.. and I still do <3 (well the logo is not a masterpiece but who cares).
I love it 🙂
Real old skool juicy-ness 😉 Scroller perspective trickery gets it a ten out of ten from me 🙂
That scroller is pretty damn cool for `88

First I thought its not so nice but increases every running second.
Nice ST01 tune and a beatiful copper to dive into…
I am guessing a French group by origin with a Belgian member… All in all – OK but the logo is ugly!
