'''Parallax scrolling''' is a special [[scrolling]] technique in [[computer graphics]]. In this [[pseudo-3D]] technique, background imageimages move by the "camera" slower than foreground images, creating an illusion of depth in a 2D [[video game]] and adding to the immersion. The technique grew out of the [[multiplane camera]] technique used in [[traditional animation]] since the 1940s.

There are three main methods of [[parallax]] scrolling used in titles for [[video game console]] systems. Parallax scrolling was first used in the [[1982]] [[arcade game]] [[Moon Patrol]].
