Robotic Liberation by PWP (VIC-20)

Robotic Liberation is a demo for the Commodore VIC-20 by PWP, posted by viznut. It pushes the 8-bit machine to produce visual effects and sung, fake speech synthesis, wrapped in a story.

HN people share it as a favourite example of demo effects serving a story, and as proof that even 8-bit systems can do this.

“I like that the demo effects are used here to tell a story in addition to being a pure display of coding prowess.”
