As if a ½K Chess program wasn't hardcore enough

These next few posts are a technical write-up of how I created 8088 Domination [1], which is a program that displays fairly decent full-motion video on a 1981 IBM PC.

Via Hacker News [2], “8088 Domination Post-Mortem, Part 1 « Oldskooler Ramblings [3]”

Yes, a 4.77MHz (megaHertz) 8088 based computer with an effective harddrive transfer rate of 90KB (kilobytes)/s can do full motion video.

Okay, it's not a great video image, but still, it's an impressive display of coding expertise and thinking outside of the box.
