===GERMANY, A PRECURSOR===
Everything started in Germany with MCS and its [[http://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&num=8078|MCS Demos]], that raised up big interest for many people. After some spheres that went up and down through the screen while modifying background's content (a judicious color-cycling effect), we then had a huge bouncing MCS logo in a later part. As you may realize it, it was already not that bad for the time, and he did much better in the following productions. We had, for the really first time on CPC, effects made of rasters. Of course, nowadays nothing is extraordinary about this, but at the time - it was completely amazing to get more that 16 colors in a logo !
MCS did many more demos that, to be honest, did not give anything new to show. At same time of MCS's glory, an other German demo-maker, JLCS, showed us other CPC abilities, with an impressive usage of CRTC's register 2 that allows to a logo, if well designed, to give the feeling to be floating through the air.
