Beats most PC demos IMHO. (I'm an old C64 and Amiga hacker) That said, the 6510 and 68k don't stand a chance when it comes to compact code compared to the x86.

Love it! I love it when modern coders hack on old hardware. There's some great stuff like that...especially some homebrew on old consoles.

(though I should probably be mad about that bit halfway through the demo)
