demoscene: area 5150 (www.pouet.net)

my comment over there just made me recall this

this demo is the next one in a long arc of people doing absolutely remarkable things to the original PC. that series went 8088 corruption (pouet) -> 8088 domination -> 8088 mph and if you've never seen them before, you absolutely should

area 5150 has a recording of the production as well as an audience reaction recording from share day

it's astoundingly awesome

something I really enjoy about the scene is that the more you learn (about the technology, the math, the methodology), the deeper the appreciation of it gets

For anyone inclined, Open Watcom runs on anything and DosBox-X makes 8080 / CGA use pretty painless, so you can feel how slow this machine is.

That demo is witchcraft.
