Who invented sprite stretching?
The history of sideborder sprites or $D011 based effects is pretty much known, but what about sprite stretching? I tried to find out the first demo who used it and it is not as easy as it seems: All the early 1988 demos which I thought that they used sprite stretching used normal multiplexing like used in ESCOS for example (I am talking about these "rasterbars + huge spritescroll + samples parts).
The first demo I found which had real sprite stretching was "Cocktail" from Triad (Feb 1989). Any earlier examples? |

From memory it's just a split in the vertical expansion register, not a stretcher as such...? |

Hmm, wasn't the game DropZone the first thing with an FPP?
