Wanted: Demos with looooong scrolltexts
I love oldskool demos with long (and entertaining) scrolltexts. But these are very rare (especially nowadays :( ).
Which demos do you know, that have a loooong scrolltext and what is *the* longest scrolltext on C64 ?
I know of the following ones:
"World Record" by Super Swap Sweden 1988(about 70 kb texts)
"165 Blocks Scroller" by Gloom / Oxyron 1991
and if I remember right, there was also one of those Crest multipart demos around 1991 which had a part with a long scroller.
Do you know some more ? and who has the longest (scrolltext ;) ? |

I can only remember 1 scroll i've done with long, long text. I think the demo was called Euphoria and it was the 9 rasters part (or 7 or something).
Reading the previous posts, I never knew people would write such long texts. I have a hard time coming up with 256 bytes of text, I can't see coming up with HOURS of it. |

I just never knew when to stop .. in the early days of Focus I pretty much wrote all scrolltexts, just check Visual Delight for example. |

Thank you all very much for your suggestions. I've downloaded almost all of them, except those bullshitter demos graham mentioned; i couldn't find them in the usual places...
I think I'll have a nice read now :) |

Try the X-Rated Party Scroller and TRSI Party Scroller... Released at the Xmas-Parties in Denmark.

Quote: I've written a bunch of long scrolltexts in my life, the longest is probably the one in the Scroll-record part of Digital Force. It's not very interesting though :)

Not in that perticular part, you did write some text in the partyscroller written in Skövde. You're credited for it as well :) |

I guess the gold medal goes to the long scroller part in the Pride megademo called Deep. It contains $1A000 (104k) bytes of scrolltext. It was quite a long work to type in our group history, many different stories and a bunch of U2 lyrics too..

Here's another demo that claims to have about 93 blocks of scrolltexts, not sure how much that is in kb though.
