You asked about the effect at the beginning. Well, Sodan was one of the coders who brought us the TechTech demo back in 1987. The effect was used in exactly the same way on that to bring in a pic from Defender of the Crown. In the demo it's called the Multi Scrapper Screen Scroller 🙂 You can see it here – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7TeV8ebHxA It's at about 1:35 if you don't want to watch it all.
