Want something to blow your mind?

Here is a 3D FPS on ZX-Spectrum: https://youtu.be/tiV8ZPmmoJI?t=106 or https://youtu.be/3v7cFGneuaw?t=66

This is running on a computer with a 3.5MHz CPU, no hardware multiplication, and only 48K of RAM.

"Just" a demo with no enemies, but on a Commodore 128: https://youtu.be/1tDflgqJlTw

It is originally from the C64 demo ”Andropolis” by Booze Design and Instinct. Coded by Andreas Larsson, the guy/genius who ported Eye of the Beholder to the C64.

Here is the same thing in turbo mode on an Ultimate 64:

Once people know something is possible with video games, they tend to imitate it fairly well across platforms. I like to use Street Fighter 2 as an example… good ports on PCE, SNES, Genesis.. and surprisingly decent bootlegs on NES and others. But until it hit arcades, there was nothing else like it.

No, it's a 128. The obvious giveaway being the audio.
