This is the best screen destioyer i have ever seen. Now. with 2D chips. this is thoing I remeeber outlawing this because of CPU and powercosts. But at idle. this is nothing today.
@sandras233 People are still coding games for 8-bit computers, creating demos in 64Kbytes, among other things, this is beautiful coding, not 25Giga of shiny graphics and no smile on the face of the operator. Oldskool will never die, because it's about a challenge and having fun.
Tran co-created a DOS protected mode program used in this demo. He wrote this entire demo in 100% pure 32-bit assembly language. He released the source code years ago, and it's available on the Internet.
Neat, but your capture appears broken - the sprites (like the snail crawling across the screen, the winged objects, the little hearts that "rain" down etc.) don't show up properly.
Still, thanks for this; it does bring back memories.
Thank you SO much for posting this. I've been trying to get this screensaver to run on my newer machine for a couple years now, and could never get it to the quality I had on my 1995 compaq. I just wanted to see and hear this screensaver for old time's sake. Wow. I'm gonna save this video, and put this audio on my iPod. Thanks again for the post!!!!
