    Crazy! I wonder: Would stuff like this have run on a 486 or something?

      I don't know if this particular demo would run on a 486, but given it was designed to run on DOS I would say it's likely, and many similar ones did back in the day as well. See:...

      p.s. If anyone wants to run Memories themselves (e.g. @ThatLinuxUser):

    Did you ever get this working on real metal? The reason the reason I ask is that I would probably shit my pants if I saw this running on a 486 or Pentium.

      I don't know that anyone did. I don't have a PC set up and just watched it on YouTube.

        Wait, really? I thought for sure, of all people, you would have a PC set up! You submit everything and make all your comments from mobile? Wow, colour me impressed if so!

          I meant in the sense of PC versus Mac. I have a Mac desktop and laptop. (I suppose I could figure out how to dual boot, but haven't bothered.)

            Ah, gotcha. I still would have figured you for a PC > Mac person though, TBH. ;)
