Everything started in Germany with MCS and his [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 the same time of MCS's glory, an other German a Danish 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.

Also, the Krad'os Crackers proposed, with the Trash Demo, a gem with fantastic graphics. M. Zebigboss (the visual artist of the group) realized splendid mad-balls. The programming-side was also very good, since Mister Plus implemented the demo in overscan, with a scrolling in mode 0, a writer in mode 2 using plenty of rasters inside.

At this time, the 2 main challengers in the course of the best demo were France and Germany. But Finland Denmark entered the challenge too and actually represented a terrific player. [[NWC ]] (New Way Cracking) did, before everyone else, a demo that was (in my opinion) THE demo on CPC. It proposed a [[Remix I|remix ]] of the best CPC musics.
On top of that, he filled the whole screen with tons of fantastic rasters, and impressed people with an hardware horizontal scroller (once again, before anyone else - but I can't prove it, since announced dates looks a little bit unrealistic).
