A demoscene music video performed entirely on an unexpanded Commodore VIC-20 and a 1541 disk drive using only 5KB of RAM.
Are machines going to take over the world? A "music video" completely performed by an unexpanded Commodore VIC-20 and a 1541 disk drive. Note that there are only 5120 bytes and 1024 nybbles of RAM available, and the total disk size of the demo is a mere 16 KB. No one had ever pushed VIC-20 programming this far before the new millennium. And don't forget: even the original Terminator was based on the 6502 microprocessor! viznut.fi/ patreon.com/viznutWhat people say. Recommended as an impressive display of coding prowess and storytelling within extreme hardware limitations.
