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.

I think a wrote some words in that scroll.....

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.
