if you didnt know this, there are competitions to make video demonstrations out of a small amount of CPU instructions. this video (including the music) is a recording of a demo that is a grand total of 64KB. in order to make it small, the program is written in assembly language. if you wish, you can get the original executable here: http://chaostheory.conspiracy.hu/downloads.php

Reminds me of the old Video Toaster systems from 15 years ago. They used very small file sizes and had to work on what would be considered primitive computers today.

If they could do all this with 64k, then why couldn't they make sophisticated graphics like this in the 80s?
