Early Efforts
Arguably the first actual VIC-20 demos (within the demoscene context) were created in 1989 by the Commodore 64 demogroup Pu-239 and Andreas Dietmair. Although both produced several demos, the activity of VIC-20 demomaking retained a curiosity status rather than evolving into a larger-scale demoscene.
An influential demo Veni vidi vic! was created in 1996 by an international group of mostly non-demoscene-affiliated volunteers led by Marko Mäkelä, a Finnish Commodore enthusiast. This demo pioneered many techniques on the VIC-20, such as stable raster routines and track-loading techniques, thus becoming a major source of inspiration for a new wave of VIC-20 demos.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or efforts:
“No two men see the world exactly alike, and different temperaments will apply in different ways a principle that they both acknowledge. The same man will, indeed, often see and judge the same things differently on different occasions: early convictions must give way to more mature ones. Nevertheless, may not the opinions that a man holds and expresses withstand all trials, if he only remains true to himself and others?”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“It could be clearly proved that by a practical nullification [by the South] of the Fifteenth Amendment the Republicans have for several years been deprived of a majority in both the House and Senate. The failure of the South to faithfully observe the Fifteenth Amendment is the cause of the failure of all efforts towards complete pacification. It is on this hook that the bloody shirt now hangs.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
