CRT Attract – Kinetic Title Sequence Template

Five characters already exist as RGB-split glowing outlines on pure black. They keep that exact treatment: black interiors, cyan/magenta/yellow-green channel offset, heavy horizontal CRT scanlines, chromatic aberration, occasional leftward glitch tears. Each holds a characteristic micro-motion inside its original framing. Formation direction alternates every 3s. Morphs only through the RGB outlines tearing, scanning and reforming. Kinetic uppercase arcade text is built from the same RGB-split scanline strokes on the complementary side. Final INSERT COIN.
