Developer publishes technical post-mortem on 8088 Domination video demo for 1981 IBM PC

A demoscene programmer has released a detailed write-up explaining how they built 8088 Domination, a program that plays full-motion video on a 1981 IBM PC 5150 using its composite TV output. The post traces the project's roots to earlier demos, including 2004's 8088 Corruption, which used 40x25 text mode to work around the hardware's severe memory and processing limits.
