You can still make some pretty significant things on perfboard with point to 
point wiring.
Here is a packed mag-lev board with 4 IC's that still runs fine after 2 
years museum use.

Even more extreme is this completely point to point art piece. There is no 
perf board, everything is point to point and supported by the connections to 
the supply rail. Still works after 20 years. 8 IC's and perhaps 100 
components
