to be fair these copper list tricks had their own performance tradeoffs and didn't see any use at all for years after the Amiga was introduced, and even then only really suited static image display. nonetheless I still fondly recall the thrill of seeing the all-stops-out pinnacle of this technique in a demo that ran at super hires, extended overscan PAL interlace, displaying a pin sharp image of portraits and wildlife in full 4096 color depth at something like 1510 x 602, on 1989 (!) consumer hardware (Amiga 3000).
