"Power without the price"! And the scrolltext does raise an important question

Pretty cool.

<nit> The background color reduces the contrast a bit too much., and makes it hard to see all the colors. </nit>

And suddenly a wild joker from Temu appears...

Indeed what a knobhead!

@legend: It's less obvious with the grey background mixed in the 4x4 tiles, but there's clearly more than 16 colors per scanline when you see the picture rotate and zoom further out

Amazing one screener. Would be interesting to see if any Amiga coders would take up the challenge and try reaching this without the given technical advantages mentioned in the scroller.

Hehe, nice graphic!
I'm not familiar with Atari's limits, but I'd say it's a nice achievement on the platform. Congratulations!
About the question... well, I'm just the one with the technical stuff, hehe.

Only Atari makes it possible.

Not too shabby for such a limited machine ;-)

Oh-oh, the tone is getting rougher in the rotozoomer business :-(

HEAR YE, HEAR YE,
OH! COME YONDER AMIGA SCENE,
LIKE MOTHS TO THE FLAME,
OF YOUR LESSER 16-BIT NEMESIS.

Great!

Made me smile. Well made mockery of the Amiga rotozoom competition and good point for the Joker frenzy.

Absolutely awesome!!
Is it really a 4 pixel wide, 320 pixels wide truecolor effect?
Nevertheless, it's really amazing!
Will have to take some dive with some debugger to analyze the code. :)
(I already did a quick look using Bugaboo and saw some kind of Spectrum512 or Cyg/BlaBla technique.)

Something which would have been absolutely top notch: using sampled-sound instead of YM2149 chip-music, maybe a sample-sequence of Estrayk's tune from the Batman Group/Capsule "Still Snacking" Commodore Amiga intro.
But I guess you are a bit spare of processor time on each scanline to replay an 8 bit sample at 15650 Hz.

Anyways, thanks a lot for this marvel!
