Probably not. Too much on-screen. And doesn't MiM scroll up/down as well?djnzx48 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2019 8:34 am I was looking through some images and remembered these old mockups of Mayhem in Monsterland:
Maybe it wouldn't be possible to recreate the level of detail seen in the mockups, but I wonder if some approximation of this game would be feasible using the new scrolling engine.Spoiler
As for Gigascreen, there's no reason it can't work with 50Hz updates. PAL TVs only draw alternate lines on each 50Hz frame - it takes two frames to refresh the whole picture - but the picture still changes from one frame to the next.
Typically Gigascreen flickers alternate lines of the same picture, which on some TVs actually appear as a higher vertical resolution, but usually just blends the pairs of lines. If you were to scroll such a screen vertically by 1 pixel at 50fps, you'd also have to consider doing an extra frame-swap to keep up the regularity of the colour swapping. Just as scrolling this flickering pixel stipple needs an extra flick, whenever it moves vertically or horizontally by 1 pixel.
