I may be a sentimental old fool, but 8088 Domination genuinely brings a tear to my eye. The perfect timing of the "I WAS WRONG" reveal (i.e. "Oh look, this IS graphics mode") and the familiar breakdancer appearing - greatest callback in demo history. I really hope the room erupted into applause at that moment - just perfect.
