First Amiga Demo Creator May 1987

 Amiga Demo Scene History

[SupremacyDemoCreatorMontage]



This month (May 2023) marks the 36th anniversary since we released
the first Amiga Demo-Creator in May 1987. At that time, we had no
idea it would be used by quite a few groups to kick-start their Amiga
demo-game, including the legendary Fairlight.

Looking back now, it feels like an eternity ago and almost unreal
that we created something, shipped on floppy-disks to our Amiga
Demo-Scene friends, and only finding out decades later that it was
actually used by groups at the time.
 

The Supremacy Demo Creator was released back in May 1987, back when
we were still in the early days of the Amiga Demo Scene. Our solution
allowed Amiga users to create demos/intros by supplying:


  * image
  * sampled sound
  * scrolling text (displayed w/built-in "hand-coded" font)


We had just finished our first Amiga demo, when we set out to build
an Amiga Demo Creator.  The Assembly coding was done over a period of
about 2 weeks. I also coded the font "by hand" inside the application
using the Assembler editor. There was no commonly available Internet
for us back then, so distribution was often done on floppies via
regular post mail.

Side note:
"The Supremacy" group name was chosen because I had just read "The
Bourne Supremacy" (Robert Ludlum, 1986).
