I can't say I think this proves much but this is a good example (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5885351342753379583&q=8088) of this awesome properties of assembler to the unclean masses.
thanks for giving me inspiration on trying even harder on my breakout demo, it must run even better than be enough power of a 20khz cpu
Indeed! Nice. :U
The first time I looked at the specs for a $5 midrange PIC microcontroller, I thought to myself "What can you possibly do with 128 BYTES of RAM and one working register?" But the caveat is that all but two of the 35 instructions runs in a single clock cycle, and 10 MIPS is possible. Here's an excellent example of what one can do with a single, low-end PIC chip: http://www.rickard.gunee.com/projects/video/pic/pong.php
Edit: 128 BYTES not KB.

cant he use a chain of flip/flops connected to that DA? and connect those flip/flops to a clock with right freq and output words or dwords to those and voila sprites and better resolution
I am talking about constructing a shift barrel, that sends pixels faster than microcontroller
