I believe i saw this soon after it was released. And with my basic coding knowledge at that time, i was like whaaaaaaaaaat the....? Best SID, also, imho. [Downvoters please remove your 5s! This is a legendary piece of code.]

I always loved (and still love) this demo! I also like the raster split scroll text too. ;)

Yes, this is FLI, but in hires-mode. Doesn't really matter because the bitmap is empty anyway, and the FLI is just used for a color-effect.

The "splits" aren't FLI per se yet (so I've been told by coders!) cause the bitmap is off. But the basic principle is the same. Solomon was definately first though! ;-)

Edit: ..or maybe not! Partysqueezer had the FLI principle (though they didn't make use of it like Solomon or BML!) a few months before both Charlatan and So-phisticated III!
