Do you read the scrollies?
Just curious here, is anyone here reading scrolltexts in demos/intros that you have just downloaded from here or other sites, but were made back in the good old days? At least the scrollies in demos you used to have or maybe even wrote in back then, for the good old memories? To see what obscure groups who got the greetz? Or do you just watch each part briefly and then skip to the next? |

It's the ONLY reason I download a demo or game. |

a decent scroller must be:
- unreadable due to awesome effect
- because of that, read in ml monitor

I only read scroll texts to be able to say that "I read this scrolltext 'til the end". |

A scrolltext is the soul of a demo. ;) |

when i started to collect c64 stuff was about 1986, i did it for demos ... i love demos/intros ... I don't care so much about games. I swapped with more than 1000 friends all over the globe and I enjoyed their friendship and stuff.
26 years later I realized, thanx to nice private facebook group we are part of, that many of old friends are still around and a bunch of new ones are jumped in. I realized that i was not alone to read the scroll from beginning to end, with a lil' help of a mon command, I enjoy to read and overall to read the greetz. Probably to satisfy our smisurate ego to be there but also for a sort of respect is due and kindness to other friends who share same interest!
So the baby i was - waz sentenced 35 years ago by his father .. how can you spend so much time in hearing and reading all same stuff?
So the baby I am - is sentenced by his daughter ... it's a game? no is just a piece of part made with music/gfx and a scrolltext ... and she goes away with a weird face expression.
Under a roof there are my 20000 and more floppies ... will I ever find the time to transfer 'em all ... be4 rattus norvegicus will make his final digital love-bite??

Yes, 95% of them for sure! But I am honest - I read them often in memory. That is why I also added the memory-location of my scrolltexts in one of my releases: Reunion 2012 (read the note, and you know where the scrolltexts are)!
And the #1 reason of reading scrolltext since 30years? DO THEY GREET ME???? :-) |

Most of the time. Sometimes they reveal interesting stories from the old times. |

Here's one with a rather long scrollie. 93 blocks of scrolltext which is quite a bit, although there's some annoying bug which makes the scroller restart before it has reached the end.
