Drake Anthony spends a lot of time in the workshop, continually pushing the boundaries of what you can produce with basic materials. His recent video on the styro pyro 2 channel attempts to replicate a phenomenon discovered over three centuries ago.

The console always looked like a strong candidate on paper, with its fast 68000 processor and graphics hardware built for fast sprite handling.
