Old Tower is a ZX Spectrum game that shows off some clever programming trickery to get smooth scrolling effects.
I improved this run by about 200 frames through better optimization. This is a neat little optimization challenge, probably there are a few more savings out there.

ThunderAxe31: Judging.
ThunderAxe31: Accepting as improvement over the current movie.
feos: Pub.

Btw I have no issues with you or anyone improving my movies. But I do prefer it if I’m given a heads up before a submission is made.
