Those who still make Amiga demos do so with an emulator like UAE, often without access to real hardware at all. At least that was how it was mostly done ~10 years ago.

I think we need another approach to this problem. On the face of it, I agree with you and support the spirit of e.g. FTC advertising standards. However, this is a much deeper problem with our culture and relying on regulatory bodies isn&#x2

It might be obvious from the name, but there's also just one bit per pixel in a bitplane, and then you stack five bitplanes to get 32 colors. You can have different offsets into each bitplane, which is why the grid could stay in the sa
