I did not make this demo. Go to [ Ссылка ] for information about the demo. Watch it here as intended: [ Ссылка ] In this video, I show what happens if I run it on my original Tandy 1000. (Note: The demo is intended to be run on IBM PC, not on Tandy 1000. Most parts look and sound off. I was curious to see how off exactly.)
PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY WARNING: Flashing content from 5:56 to 6:26.
I am running it off a hard disk rather than from the floppy drive, because I had significant troubles in finding a single 360k disk that doesn't have corruptions, and that doesn't spontaneously spawn new corruptions when written to on another computer. I copied the demo on a floppy in several separate transfers.
Also, I don't have a good video camera. The camera I used here is limited to 640x480 MJPG at 30 fps, with 11 kHz 8-bit mono audio.
The dark section that scans through the screen periodically from bottom to up is not visible to human eye. It is a camera artifact, that occurs because of a difference in video recording rate and the monitor refresh rate, and because of camera's shutter that doesn't have the "persistence of vision" effect that a human eye has.
