The demo scene is still around, although it's maybe less popular. That was a demo scene thing, not a commercial game.

Also, iirc, it was very heavy on performance for the time because the procedural textures were so expensive.

I know, but I played iit on it's release in 2005 on the old PC these years without problems. Even if it is an 10 minutes game, its a marvel to put it with good graphics, sound and music in only 96 KB, even some avatars here have more. It still works in current Windows.
