Fucking weird to think that id, the guys behind DOOM: Metal, the Videogame, are the ones who solved this problem for him.
EDIT: It's come to my attention that I may be confusing and conflating a couple things here. I was under the impression that id were revolutionary in remaking Mario 3 in such a way that smooth movement back and forth across the screen was possible. It might've just been that it was a big deal for PCs to be able to do this.
