Sure as hell though in the past there was some excellent coding, like the SID player and C64 Demo by Per Hakan Sundell for OCS Amigas, yes he of C64S emulator for DOS, who managed to get some amazingly accurate C64 SID tunes converted very closely with just Paula and a 7mhz 68000
To be honest, even if the sidplayer is pretty cool, and I've used it a fair bit, it's not "amazingly accurate", the tunes sound nothing like they should
show me all you want from later years but this in itself shows a time when extremely efficient coding was in evidence, and there is not a single 8mhz 8086 + 16bit Soundblaster equivalent of the C64 Music Demo as produced for Amiga.
Why a 16bit soundblaster? And have you actually tried searching for anything made for the 8086?
at the time (80s to early 90s) Amiga was king of the demo scene end of story.
And still the best effects were made on the C64
If I owned a Falcon I would download Silk Cut for that too, simple.
Indeed, it runs way better on the Falcon, and is actually a pleasure to watch on it
