- Hornet + CRTC + DESiRE are proud to present 8088 MPH, a demo for the 1981 IBM PC + CGA. This demo competed in the oldskool compo at Revision 2015.
This is the real composite output of a true IBM CGA card and 4.77MHz 8088 PC. This demo breaks all emulators :-)

Ho-lee nuts
Being a music person, I'm most impressed with the shit you can do with the one-voice beeper.
Incredible. I watched this quite gleefully.
Wow. From a technical standpoint, absolutely mindboggling that you achieved that on an 8088... puts Second Reality on my 486 to shame...
Computing technology grew so fast that software had to get tugged along with it, not promoting things like optimization and learning to fully utilize what was available. Makes me wonder how much we missed out on because some things just didn't get experimented with and optimized to its full potential, or even near it, before we were onto a new chip or hardware standard. What is even more interesting to consider, where would we be now if we could have had those software advancements with earlier hardware.
1024 CGA colors?
I thought this was awesome, got to the end and thought 'they cheated and were playing that MOD through a soundcard!'
This is truly masterful, I don't know what to be more impressed by, the multicolour CGA graphics or the digital sound coming out the PC beeper at the end. It's all amazing. I remember hearing a 4 channel mod file played for the first time out the speaker of my 386PC and even then I was totally blown away.
If an 8088 can do this, then the singularity can begin on a Haswell.
I come from 8 bit guy and your contributions with Planet X3, Greetings from Venezuela.
SICK! If everybody would take such care in squeezing out what's possible in the hardware, we wouldn’t be needing new chips since 1996
Imagine popping in a time machine to the guys designing/running CGA hardware for the first time and showing them this. :)
It's absolutely mindblowing what some people can still do with this old hardware. Fantastic.
Hello! I came here to talk about the Demoscene
Absolutely incredible, you guys did a fantastic job and deserved to win. Really really cool!
IBM PC Master Race
Came here after reading about it in Planet X3’s manual and DAMN! This is impressive... all of it. Having started my computing days with an 8088 and CGA, this looks like wizardry. Never knew this was possible... more please!
now that's crazy impressive
You can teach an old dog new tricks. Very impressive and well-deserved pat on the back!
Are these the best graphics and sounds ever to come out of an original PC? Mind bending work, kind of unbelievable.
