@@JanaBuvari No, when synced correctly to the camera it's great. There are many other videos out there with recorder CRT screens and it's fine when done properly. In the worst case you get some awful rolling shutter issues, but framerates are not the issue here.

Good lord, does that bring back some memories! I may still have that buried somewhere on all those old floppies around here, plus I still have an old Pentium that could run it. That was some cutting edge stuff back then. Hard to believe that was nearly 30 years ago. Makes me wonder what became of those guys. Does that Future Crew outfit even still exist?

Yeah I had the GUS MAX at that time, didn't even know it was so great for playing certain things as it was pretty bad for some other stuff, but I was just about 10 years old or so and my dad had bought it for me and I had no real experience with other soundcards. Lots of trouble with getting it to work sometimes but I got the hang of it. Later coupled it with a SBPRO to make life a little easier and to be able to play OPL FM music properly. I wish I still had it, worth a fortune by now. I just threw it away as if it was some piece of junk....

@@stefankoopmans2200 Yep, its soundblaster compatibility was pretty hit and miss. I ended up putting a SB16-ASP card in my PC as well as the GUS for software that didn't have a dedicated GUS option. But for software that did, the sound quality was much better. A bit of a performance boost too due to the GUS' huge DSP.

That LCD monitor is hiding bits of the demo during video mode changes (probably because it's taking a while to adjust to the different VGA signals). Maybe worth doing this again on a traditional CRT monitor. But then there will be refresh/line issues between that and the frame rate of the camera. Nicely done though! If you can grab a Gravis Ultrasound card from somewhere, it would off load the tracker mixing away from the CPU to the sound card, also giving a performance lift. None the less, great to see this again after so many years!

I see a familiar number of 32768, but back then, it was kB. Now, it's MB. PCs have literally 1024 times more DRAM these days. 16-bit ISA bus had bandwidth of 16.7MB/s one way. PCIe Gen 5 x16 with 128GB/s bandwidth can move data ~7,864 times faster!

How is it horrible? This is the demo that everyone and their grandmother sees as the "point of no return" for demoscene on the PC. It showed that the platform was indeed viable for the demoscene and not just "gaming and office-use". I was an Amiga-user back then, and didn't really like it (come on, it was on a PC, PC sucks!!!). But I've come to like it over the years.
