What is the smallest/oldest/most low tech demoable machine?

category: general [glöplog]
 

Dear Pouters/Pouetizers,

we have seen many examples of demos on really old and obscure hardware. For example on VCS2600, VC-20 and that pokemon thing. Is there any unexplored territory? Are there any boundaries left?

How about Commodore PET? Apple II? Atari 7800? ZX-81?

Or how about "smallest demomachine"? (See smallest web server ) Of course sound and video is required.

Who is going to close the last gaps?

Best Regards,
Lando Calrissian

As for the smallest one i can run code on this and i've even done some simple effects on mine but unfortunately it's a real jungle right now and a lot of players have slightly different hardware/firmware (like different screen sizes), it's too bad because the specs are quite cool.

Also there's a quite a lot of unexplored consoles in this list.

Nice idea with the wikipedia list! This one looks pretty suitable http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colecovision - and there is no production on pouet.

I believe PlayStation 3 is unexplored. Why not direct your attention to it?

Too expensive.
