Looked up the winner in the 64k competition and it seems to be this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tirAdWbceak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tirAdWbceak To be honest, it looks like a techno video from the 90s to me.

The 64k compo was particularly weak this year. I'd recommend checking out the 4k intro and 4k executable graphics compos for some stellar work.

  I think Assembly eliminated 64k years ago, because 4k for all practical purposes had become the new 64k, and 64k entries had been scarce and not super impressive for a while.

    Things come and go. At Revision 2015 to 2017, the PC 64k compo was absolutely insane, with production values exceeding pretty much every other category, including unconstrained PC demos. If 4k is the new 64k, 64k at that time became the new PC demo. 256 bytes is the big (hum...) thing now. With one ridiculous entry that managed to pack 8 different effects, with music and transitions https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=85227 https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=85227

    The 4k category was blown wide open in 2009 by rgba/tbc with Elevated [1] (live reactions: [2]). It demonstrated that 4k was more than sufficient for impressive effects and music -- suddenly, 64k was no longer an interesting constraint.

    Last year's PC 64k was amazing https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=81021 https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=81021 https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=81015 https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=81015 https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=80996 https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=80996

  There's a mind-blowing 256byte entry as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Imquk_3oFf4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Imquk_3oFf4

I'd like to submit a small correction: the PC 64k winner. Eg there's this in the Amiga 64k compo: https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=85248 https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=85248 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s66OgcwqalA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s66OgcwqalA) It also looks like a techno video, but a good one :-)
