I just have a crazy idea. I think Premire can take a batch of still image files as frames and generate a movie from them? Otherwise, there are definitely other software to do this quickly.

So, what about making all those frames yourself from the loooong original image and then import them? I know there will be A LOT OF frames but you do this only once.

I quickly pieced together a small programme to do this. You may download it from here. A quickly generated 70000 x 720 tested image is included. You can double click  test.cmd  to see how things go. Beware that for moving 100 pixels per frame in that test case around 700 images will be generated and it will take some time, and it will take even longer if you need more frames. Also it's poorly written, and not thoroughly tested, so it may fail.

I've never used Premier (and any "serious" video editing programme to this matter), but about cutting up the image into three parts, why can't it work? You may need to place the 2nd image carefully such that its left edge sticks to the right edge of the 1st one when the video plays to the cutting part (and the same with the 3rd image) for the scrolling to be seamless. Is that very difficult to manage?

1. How can I turn this pdf file into an image file (png, tiff, bmp, whatever)? Acrobat pro doesn't like anything above 72 dpi, which turns the image into shite

Or try to use PDFXchange (which replaced [Acrobat] Reader completely to me). Most useful functions are still available without paying for it. One function I use very frequently is File -> Export -> Export to image... which prints selected pages into image files of customisable sizes. I don't know whether there is some size limitation in the exported image though.

Huh?  Looks fine to me:

Actually it's just the board names placed across two columns, and it seems that where the first column is cut off depends on the systems. For example, this is how mine looks like:

The list changes to the right column after the "Recruitment" item. Actually what selmiak mentioned is probably the same thing as what you have in your screen-shot, as in your case "AGS Development" is on the left, and all its sub-forums are shoved to the right. Personally I don't think there is any thing wrong with this. It's definitely not a bug or display error.

Superplusguy got it.
Yes, it is that close brother of Mean Street.

No.

Hint: It's a PC game.

I think the graphics of the Amiaga port and the PC port are virtually identical...

Anyway, your turn.

I've already obscured the character and removed the interface, but it should be easy.

D?

Another problem is whether you want people to play your games on different platforms. If it's targeted for most desktop systems then it's okay to use 1024x768 max as there are still a number of people using that resolution nowadays. For example, this is the max... err... native resolution of this crappy LCD I'm using at work, whereas I am using a CRT at home which best displays 1024x768(it can do 1280x1024 max. but the quality isn't that good).

If you want your games also playable on mobile devices, then actually even many mid to semi-high range devices use something like 800x480. In that case, even 800x600 is overkill, and thus 640x480 seems optimal.

Plus Dualnames is now a mod of that forum so he can also look after threads created there. The change was intentional, nothing is wrong.

Freecell...

Of course not!

Better change your screenshot. I think the game's name is written directly right on it...

Is it Freddy Pharkist (or whatever his name should be spelled)?

Yes. Your turn.

In case someone couldn't figure it out, that last one was Beyond Shadowgate for the TG16.

This should be easy:

Well... The name of this game had been mentioned before, but was a mistake as that was another game in the same series. Incidentally the abbreviation of this game is... B.S.

Also you can punch and die a lot.
