Demos have been, for years, the ultimate weapons of skilled programmers. To be recognized within the CPC world, sometimes the only thing to do is to create a single but killer demo. For newcomers in the computing world, I precise that a demo is a program that basically does nothing, excepted the fact to visually impress you. The more technical tricks are involved, the greater impacts on the demo-watcher. Basically, demos's aim is to glorify a particular member of the demo-scene, or a complete demo-group.
We selected, through this article, a representative sample of this wonderful world. Please also note that most of those demos are available on http://www.cpc-power.com and http://www.pouet.net.
