After seeing the screen shots, it is the game demo thingy I remember from way way back. It sounded familiar. Isn't this the one where the programmer was going on about how he was doing it all in assembly and that was going to make it really awesome or something? Perhaps at that time there might also have been a flame war between assembly proponents saying it was faster and best for all things and higher level language proponents saying that it would be impossible to do most modern things in assembly because debugging would take longer or some such?
