App for mapping video game backgrounds from screen recording?

I heard of software that builds maps of video game worlds/levels by piecing together background images as they appear on the screen. The idea being that you could play through something like Castlevania with the software running and end up with a large, single image of the entire level (or as much of the level that appeared on-screen during play). Any idea what software this is? My googling is fruitless.
I think I heard someone talking about it in a video or on a podcast. I think they might have used some old game with scrolling backgrounds as an example. Like Super Mario Bros. levels or the Final Fantasy world map. It might have been in the context of their work on video game reviews with these kinds of large maps accompanying articles in a magazine.

That link doesn't seem to work - is there any other web page for it?
