A text scroller which you can actually READ ?

Brilliant !!!

That's the first one I see.

The first one I saw decades ago from Odiesoft. Letters walked down a tower. Can't find it a youtube.

I was somewhat ironic... to be honest, so many horizontal scrollers are too fast or have too many effects to be readable... or may not be smooth enough...

Even the "Tron" scrolling in Batman is sometimes hard to follow.

Nice to have cool effect but scroll-text has to be readable, else just do a graphic scroller "à la shadow of the best"... or don't do it too fast with letters zooming too much so they are bigger than the screen.

Well, a good scroller has speed control.  :P

Do you mean this one?

A little slow, but very cool how the letters moving in front and behind the tower. I also love this battro scroll because it's different, something I haven't seen done on a CPC. It's the unique styles, not necessarily the fast or smoothest etc that grab me.

Right, this one.  :)  It's not slow. It's readable. Quick is easy with the CPC.  :)

Not often that I actually watch a scroller again, let alone read the friggin' text. Thanks for that mate!
