Utterly charming. Made my day. =D
most orchestrated? definitely.
most ambitious? I dunno: Protodome manages much more complexity, and it's all from a single ATMega microcontroller ... https://protodome.bandcamp.com/album/4000ad
Recently I've been stunned by what laamaa was able to get out of a single Game Boy with gameboy n bass yes please, their last one is also quite impressive.
Less "technical" but ambitious in other ways Soleviio's Sonus Antiquitatum is a sonata composed for two Game Boys and is one of my favourite work ever in this genre.
In that vein, try Tristan Perich's 1-bit Symphony, which instead of a recording of an AVR is the AVR playing the track for you. https://vimeo.com/12244413
Protodome's opus is available as hardware, too: I didn't link to it initially as it's better to hear it first — the 4000AD board
