>> John Linville, a retro hobbyist, has created a full motion video player (with sound!) for the old Tandy/Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer 3 (circa 1986). Although the resolution isn't great (it looks like web video from the mid 1990s), it's amazing a 1.89mhz 8-bit processor with NO real graphics hardware (just a bitmap screen) could do it at all.
