Surely this would not run well, if at all, on an intended computer. The point is, adapting the operating system to such a point it could do such things, keeping within certain limitations. It is impressive in that respect, at least?

This isn't very surprising.

It's the lighting in such a primative OS.
I don't even know if DirectX existed in DOS.

A very old text based operating system before Windows 95 and 3.11 and such.

Actually, pretty early in the video it says it doesn't run on a video card.
Retyping because can't copy paste text from a video:
--- Quote ---// Mesa is an open-source OpenGL implementation.
// OSMesa is its off-screen driver, used for rendering into a memory buffer
// rather than through a graphics card. This is great for making OpenGL work
// pretty much on anything, including DOSBox on its emulated basic VGA hardware.
