Here comes my Codef remake of “Wow! Scroll 2” by The Resistance / Inner Circle, released on the Decade Demo (Atari ST, 1991)

The Decade Demo was the megademo of Inner Circle, released in August 1991, with screens by Electronic Images, The Resistance, ST Squad and others. Wow! Scroll 2 was coded by Griff of The Resistance, with graphics by The Master and a sample of “House Arrest” by Krush prepared by Gizmo of Electronic Images.

Its scrolltext opens with a boast, “They said it could not be done…. I say spin on this…”, then Griff admits that it was finished at the last minute: “this is the first of my screens to be completed fully, and yet the demo is to be released in about 3 or 4 days!” Griff was in the race for fullscreens and hardware scrolling too: in the scrolltext of ULM’s Parallax Distorter, Gunstick sends him a message about his own attempts at hardscrolling.
