The BBC micro had a similar arrangement to the Amiga or EGA, and this was the way a number of games (Repton, Exile, Ravenskull, Uridium, JCB Digger, amongst others) did their full-screen scrolling. (I think the stride was inferred from the displayed total though so when scrolling horizontally some flicker at the sides was pretty much inevitable.)

Double buffering was rare, due to a distinct lack of memory, and games would have had to use dirty lists as a 2MHz CPU just isn't fast enough to redraw the entire screen each time.
