A "two pixel sine scroll" refers to how many pixels follow a different sine… so a 2pixel version only has half the blits of a 1pixel sinescroll (and a 4pixel sinescroll has half again, and so on…). They should all run in 1 frame though, or you’ve failed
OK then by that definition, mine was a single frame "eight pixel sine scroll". Made the code really simple.
for sure this one is one of the typical amiga cracktros and is well known! its one of those where everything fits 100%! for me in personal there are some like the paranoimia one for super cars II f.e. …but much more of course…

Would be a interesting to know which intro is generally regarded as the most beautiful or favourite considering the mass of productions where out there …
Whatever the outcome may be … I am pretty sure that this here must be the most well known and wide spread and if any release may be ever associated with the Amiga Scene I guess here we are too .. Rest in Peace my Dear Youth & Thank You!

They should all run in 1 frame though, or you’ve failed 🙂 And yes, many demosceners and other people coded intros for cracking groups – either because they were friendly with the members or because they got something in return (leech accounts, cards, whatever). Some crackers insisted on using their own (usually bad) intros, which is their right since they spent the time… Read more »

Torchman: I too was surprised to see Dan of Anarchy coding cracktros for the likes of Skid Row, who had many excellent coders themselves. Maybe they were just too damn busy cracking games to code cracktros too I thought that happens all the time? Most of the coders are busy cracking, so churning out an intro is better left to external coders. For instance, didn’t Corto, Skywalker, Brainwalker, Nomad all do intros for other groups? I’m curious: what is meant by a "two pixel sine scroller"? I did my sine scroller in one frame, but somehow I don’t think that’s… Read more »

One of my fave cracktros on Lemmings, which was a game I played regularly. I think pretty much everyone had this crack of lemmings lol. Love the music by 4matt who used to knock out some great little tunes. I too was surprised to see Dan of Anarchy coding cracktros for the likes of Skid Row, who had many excellent coders themselves. Maybe they were just too damn busy cracking games to code cracktros too lol 😀 I wonder if Dan showed this intro to the Core execs when he was interviewed by them, as an example of his work… Read more »
I think this is one of the best intro ever…..
"Simple" but the combination of tune(!!!), text writer, scroll text, sprite stars was really nice those (and even these) days.
Is on the same level as the intro from Nomad’s PP Hammer(Crystal).
Nice to see this here, awakes some nice memories.
well the sine-scroller was 2pix (maybe even 3? can’t remember) but still if it was 2pix then I’m clapping my hands too… maybe we should ask Dan directly … anyway, perfect intro for me !
with ICE AND CADDY TRAINER I AM IN 1991.
I love this cracktro for the 4mat’s music. Best cracktro tune to me. Cheers.
God-Like
Updated:
Redone from scratch.

Dan ..Dan, The Dustbin Man.
Lived in Derby and ate raspery Jam
I think I coded this before I joined up with Core Design….
just sayz YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, this iz Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo back in timE =) =) =) =) =) =)
I always liked the 3D stars in this very intro.. why? I actually have no idea :p
well, i guess everybody who still had a miggy by then saw this intro and rls … unforgetable one, regards !
rocks!
This brings back so much memories!
I really love this site! Good work!

100% skid row 100 100% amiga

CLASSIC! Very nice ‘n colorfull with amazing sound.
Loved this choon, brings back the memories, one of the greats

I think everyone on the Amiga seen saw this one! great.
Love that ch00n…
Oh noooo! 😉 Lemmings memories…
I never realized Skid Row had anyone else coding their intros. Kind of ironic that "Core" would essentially be coding a crack intro hehehhe – iN7!/Syn
I love this tune done by 4mat i think it’s called lff….
Musashi: I already wrote a mail concerning that topic, but I never got any reply from the flashtro staff :/
I can write cracking/fixing tuts if you want me to do so!! 🙂
i always loved this ?tro … my fav were the stars and the blinking text effect 🙂
carab has done a NICE! remake of this cracktro
the source code is also available on his site
http://www.scarab-amiga.com/script/scarab.cgi?t=1&st=1
how about some Cracking tuts 😛
the .lha links is broken :-\ …

Ah, I love this. That’s what a Sine scroller should look like!
well, well, I remember better optimized sinus scrollers by Slayer/Scoopex in old SCX cracktros! 🙂
It’s a classic (that I recently remade in 4k :D) and nice but it is NOT optimized
coding! And yes, it’s a 2 pixel sine scroller.
Hoya!
One of my ALL-TIMES fave!!!
I LOVE the tune!
Be funky

one of the best by Dan/Anarchy (lara croft, no?)
how this sinuscroll can work in same time with 3D stars : awesome optimization
