The Demoscene is a interesting computer sub-culture that came to prominence during the rise of the 16 bit micros (the Atari ST and the Amiga), but demos first appeared during the 8-bit era on computers such as C64 and ZX Spectrum.
Nowadays, as the computers have got faster and usually have some kind of hardware 3D acceleration, the bias in making demos has moved from squeezing as much out of the computer as possible to making stylish, beautiful and well-designed real time artwork - a fact that lots of so-called "oldschool demosceners" seem to disapprove of.
