pouet.net is the demoscene Smithsonian. Feels good running the good stuff on real hardware that I’ve accumulated from thrift stores, rummage sales, and Craigslist (remember that?) over the years.
The longer that friends stay over, the more hardware I pull out, and they get subjected to the likes of Eon by The Black Lotus on Amiga 500 and Area 5150 by CRTC & Hornet on IBM 5160. I think they got 1,000 composite video colors out of the original IBM CGA Graphics Card and sampled music playing through the PC speaker on a 4.77MHz i8088. 😂
I should start a computer museum but I have no money and I don’t think there’s any money in it. I’ve considered doing an event at my local downtown old-timey theater that reopened several years back… They will rent it out for stuff like that.
There used to be a site that just had several nonstop streams of demos, but it’s gone now. I used to just have it as background on a second monitor when I was doing things. I loved it.
