Best Use of Colorbars

in an attempt to keep this forum alive, what's the best use of $d020/$d021 colorbars you've seen. i'm not talking about split rasters or any of the $d011 tricks, but basic manipulation of the the background colors. what used rotations, shading, multiple layers, etc. for example, i was always a fan of stormbringer's xds intro for the fact it kept track of two separate layers. feel free to add on.

I can't point out any cool ways of using colorbars right now but I also would like to add that I love them and any suggestions in this thread are most welcome by both me and Codey. ;D

Probably the best usage of raster colors was in the classic Papillons intro:

Beyond the Ice Palace +2

As for something more complex, Ikari / Paninaro intros come to mind:

Ikari Intro

Paninaro Intro

The NATO intro linked to the following release, it is simple but quite nice:

Ironhand

And the classic FBR intro:

FBR Intro (TLD)

PS. Ok, I had to edit this post a few times, as each time I saved changes, I remembered something more to mention.

I think the intro of Magic Disk 64 issue 11/89 (written by Ivo Herzeg) is one of the best uses of rasterbars. Sadly it's not on CSDb.

Chunk's SCG intro, definitely.

Grand Prix Circuit +F

Is an example. Maybe not overly advanced, but very well made, and good looking.


Hmmm, I guess I should fire up vim and start hacking together some rasterbar-code =)

i have to agree with tao. it's such a polished intro! and i'm not able to come up with a better use of raster bars, sorry.

Better wait! There'll be a lot of raster stuff in the future. And not only speaking for myself here :)

The return of the raster is imminent.
