Love this write up (and one's like it - there's so much good stuff in their archives). The stuff GloriousCow is doing with MartyPC is just so impressive.

What impresses me most is that, back then, we thought the PC to be an extremely boring machine with absolutely crappy graphics.

We didn't have hackers like these, it'd seem. Or they were (understandably) distracted by Amigas and Ataris.

I might be wrong but doesn’t he mention at the start that the effect isn’t possible on real hardware? Like there’s an emulator trick happening? I’m not diminishing the skill involved in this but if it requires a trick in the emulator it can’t be said that a person could have accomplished this on the hardware at the time
