What can u do with 880KB (yes kilobytes)

Written in Assembly Language the Amiga Demo Scene created Beautiful Things!

To utilize full hardware performance, Amiga demos were optimized and written entirely for one purpose in assembly (avoiding generic and portable code). Additional performance was achieved by utilizing several co-processors in parallel with the 68000. These co-processors include, Copper (a co-processor for synchronizing custom chipset writes to video display sync) and Blitter (a chip capable of quickly moving blocks of graphical data from one position on the screen to another). Sometimes performance optimizations were so aggressive that operating system control had to be disabled during a demo to avoid a crash or to achieve real-time rendering.

Dont forget, this is Running on a 7Mhz Motorola 68000 Processor..20 Years ago!
