This is a demo for the original 4.77MHz 8088 IBM PC with CGA. No
sound card, no hard disk, but 640kB of RAM.
It's astounding, from the music to the 256-colour graphics. An amazing
piece of work.

I couldn't agree more. The original 8088 Corruption by Trixter was impressive. This is
beyond words. I've been looking to see if I can DL it to use on my own systems. I will
drop Trixter a line on VCF. Could you imagine if someone had done this, say in 1983, at
Comdex? People would have gone nuts!

One question that could be asked, is - If IBM PC hardware had 'frozen' in
this basic state for a number of years, much as did the C-64 hardware, how
long would it have taken for the software to equal what we've seen
demonstrated here?
Necessity is the mother of invention.. makes one wonder just what's been
missed, with the rapid evolution of x86 and the now near-universal
availability of cheap compute cycles and vast system resources.

That is pretty impressive. I was hoping to try running it on real hardware
(I think a 5160 should work in place of their 5150) but I'm not sure that
I've got a CGA card (just MDA and EGA) :-( Will have to do some more
digging...
cheers
