Should run in Dosbox, best if you have MIDI configured

I mostly blame Foone for this.

Code Notes

This was sort of a port of a similar Lovebyte Apple II entry, though that Apple II version was actually a port of a QBASIC Twitter bot version I made for Foone.

I dusted off my old DOS mode 13h programming skills and put something together with MIDI music and sierpinski teaser that barely fit in 256B. Hellmood then ran with it and optimized it to death and put the dragon fractal background in.

It's funny, I didn't list any authors when submitting, but the demo hosts correctly guessed who was behind this. Have to be careful or I'm going to end up typecast.
