What about Jazz Jackrabbit? That game had some seriously fluid VGA scrolling.

Came out in 1994, which more or less aligns with OP's "well into the 1990s" timeline.

In 320x200 or 320x240 VGA, you could had essentially the same trick for scrolling window over the VRAM, checkout Mode X VGA. The Allegro library had baked-in support for that, at least in the early 2000's.
