ALT1:... that the 1985 video game Castle Quest was considered to have the best side-scrolling on the BBC Micro, and it could have been considered the "best game" were it not for Elite?
ALT2:... that Castle Quest, a 1985 side-scrolling video game for the BBC Micro, used a smooth hardware scrolling technique termed 'Scrollerama'?
ALT3:... that the 1985 BBC Micro video game Castle Quest used a smooth hardware side-scrolling technique termed 'Scrollerama'?

size and vintage check out - nice little article. Not fond of either hook (the comparison with Elite was one writer's opinion). I think something mentioning the smooth side-scrolling and the humorous word "scrollerama" would work best. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:13, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

let's take ALT3 - I think that one reads best. good to go. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:06, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
