Demo records and world firsts
Hello!
From time to time discussions appear here about demo effect records or when some VIC-trick were first invented and by whom, and so on. Even if this is not the only thing that demos "are about", it is clearly an important aspect (historically) of the art of demomaking. Still, I find it a bit curious that it hasn't been documented in a more systematic way (until now?).
Therefore I made a (close to empty) "shell" for an article about this, and now I encourage you all to fill in the blanks and correct the mistakes:

Check it! Fix it!

Quote: the game "the vikings" was released before march 1987 and contains a "10 points" fullscreen FLD coded by Thomas Larsen. Tiger Misson also, released 01.03.1987.
Tiger Mission +
The game wasn't released on March 1st, but the Hotline crack!!
Both games were probably published in February, but I'm not sure, Danish release dates could be shortly earlier, but I doubt it. |

"Demo records and world firsts" got me thinking.
Its all very well having a world 1st list/database, but what about a chart of effects done best (ie with more style), as firsts arn't usually the best.
