- basementcat 2y agoI feel like this type of technical achievement is difficult to appreciate without some understanding of the underlying hardware. For example, those of us who had an Amiga many years ago might stare dumbfounded and gasp in bewilderment as we try to understand how this was made to work on a 7.14 MHz 16 bit machine with half the memory only available to the CPU every other clock cycle. Is it possible to help others appreciate this technical achievement or is this "art form" destined to die out in a few years?
