The winning demo from Revision 2015's oldskool competition, running on a real 1981 IBM PC with CGA at 4.77MHz. It uses extreme tricks to produce effects, graphics and sound far beyond what the hardware was thought capable of.
Held up as the peak of demoscene hardware hacking, especially for its finale and for how good the PC speaker sound gets.
