Re: Feature: Border effects
My own Mazeball falls into that Birds and Bees category of border stripes just being a mildly distracting effect of generating sound fx, but I think you would many other games that do the same

There was one game that had a countdown (54321) where the numbers used the whole screen, can't remember the game now just remember being seriously impressed.

Re: Feature: Border effects
I remembered Barbarian II having some neat stable border rasters when you completed the game but looking at youtube and the RZX-Archive recording there were none. So I checked my personal ending save state folder, found the Barbarian 2 ending and lo there were rasters. Perhaps they only appear when played on a 48k, seems the 128k just plays music instead.
Here's the rasters:

Re: Feature: Border effects
Sophia and Sophia II both feature border effects:
- the first when Sophia drops a skull into the cauldron;
- the second when end-of-level bosses are defeated.
The code for this effect is based on a similar routine found in Mega-Buck$, which should then be added to the list as well.
Border effect also are used in Spellbound, Knight Tyme and Stormbringer whenever Magic Knight casts a spell.

Re: Feature: Border effects
Alien by Mind Games has some basic border noise every time the player issues a command. It's a quite useful thing though, for an example, if you happen to press fire while the sound of a grille being opened is played there's a chance that the game will eat your input. If there aren't any border noise you know that the order didn't go through and need to issue it again.

Re: Feature: Border effects
Yesterday I was doing some tests after updating Cousin Horace, and I recalled that the third chapter displays a border effect when Horace dies.
