Robotic Liberation by PWP is a music video demo performed entirely by an unexpanded Commodore VIC-20 and a 1541 disk drive, using only a few kilobytes of RAM and a 16 KB disk. It uses demoscene effects to tell a story.
Why Hacker News points people here: HN recommends it as a showcase of what skilled demoscene programmers can squeeze out of extremely limited hardware.
