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.
