The combination of mapping pixels to memory and rendering individually and then that appearing on webgl and looking great on a not too expensive phone, where I am pinch zooming while it flawlessly animates, sort of blows my mind in how much technology has come in 25 years. Connects the old with the new in a way I haven’t seen for a while (and yeah seen loads of C64 emulators and such)

At first I thought the demos were gifs! After seeing your comment, I went back and remained slack-jawed!
