(author here) Not quite, a 256 bytes PC intro CAN have decent non MIDI music as showcased here https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=79281 (won the "outstanding technical achievment" award) I did some intros in 32 bytes and 16 bytes having that "horrible buzzer", looks like some ASCII effects and a dutch gabber bassline is the maximum you can get in this category :D ( https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=76093)

That's why I said "usually", the moment someone says something is impossible, someone does it ;)

Anyways, great job. I was there during the compo, it was epic, with everyone double checking the executable size, even the old guys who have seen it all. You got my vote BTW.

#truckbreaker ;) yes, the overall reception was overwhelming, i didn't expect that. i completely agree with your post before, just wanted to point to "ikubun" =)
