I'm curious about the title of the music used in the video, because I've always liked that score, but I can never recall the name of the composition. I think it's something like "Black Forest" or whatever.
The score is called "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg. It's one of my favorites!

By the way, I am probably wrong, but didn't "Alternate Reality" on the old 8-bits (Atari, C-64) function in real-time also? It's been 20 years since I played AR, but I think I recall some buzz about it's "real-time" gameplay.
You are correct. Alternate Reality (Atari 8-bit) and Dungeons of Daggorath (Tandy CoCo) were two important real-time precursors and were quite popular on their respective platforms and eras. You can also go back to 3D Monster Maze (BBC Micro) for an even earlier real-time, first-person 3D game. I had meant to mention these in the video, but ran out of time! It really is hard to pack all that into 10 minutes.
