• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Game On
• Nice one!
  
  I can confirm that it drops alternate frames on my A500 too though. It's a rev 5 with 512k trapdoor slow RAM, and no fast RAM.

• intro Amiga AGA Amiga OCS/ECS Game Under Again by Lemon.
• Fantastic stuff once again. I guess this must truly be game over/under for this challenge. Congrats! I still need to fire up the debugger again and figure out what the new trick was. I must admit it wasn't immediately obvious :-)
  
  Regarding the maximum visible width, Photon helped me do some hardware testing, and if I’m getting this right, our conclusion was that that 369 pixels were actually visible on a CRT, the reason being that even though the RGB signal can include 384 pixels, 15 of them are before the HSYNC high signal that turns the beam on. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was more to this though.

• @Blueberry No it's absolutely not a width record. The reasons I made it this wide are:
  - just for fun in the context of the other records, even though it doesn't count for anything :-)
  - to see how close we can get to Evil's 400px Atari version
  - making it as wide as possible has a some benefit for the total pixel count (ssshhh!)
  
  I based this on Photon's assertion that 384 can be displayed on some CRTs. I appreciate the irony of this given the history, and I'm also not trying to pass the buck in any way. Although I don't own the hardware to verify this, the fact that vAmiga emulator rendered all columns gave me some reassurance. It really does sound like I need to do a more reasonable version that can definitely be fully displayed.
  
  I've been playing with VHPOSW tricks for *other things* and I agree it's a pain in the arse!

  Is 384 pixels the screen hardware limit? I dont think I've ever done anything beyond 352.

  
  I believe it is based on Photon's Coppershade article, and I was taking his word for it that all pixels can be displayed on some CRT monitors. If this proves not to be the case I will of course adjust my claim, and could potentially release a version with a similar pixel count in a less ridiculous width!

• @Optimus it started from a tardigrade in Photon's original, but nobody wants to see that!
