Summary	06037: angelkds and clones: Bugged scrolling
Description	In angelkds, the top part of the screen should not move when the main player goes very fast. A similar but conditionally different issue happens if you move the rope holders down. This is apparently intended as there is a seperate screen reserved for the main angel kid.

No.12060 Tafoid Administrator Oct 10, 2015, 01:26	Do we have any proof that it should behave the way you are suggesting and the current way is not correct? A far as I am aware, the screen has always scrolled at just about that half way point vertically in the instance that the trajectory of the girl being propelled and/or the movement of the angel kids would move one or the other off screen. The same stuff is done with video pinball games (example NES Pinbot) where they might offer a full table so they only keep the flippers and the area surrounding them on screen and scroll the rest of the playfield. Perhaps I am misunderstanding your report?

Tafoid: you can go ahead and declassify this bug now.
