- In 1987 the very first Amiga demos started appearing, but it was still
- early, early days. Most people were doing their thing on the C64 still...
- The only notable parties were the frequent ones in Venlo, Holland - fondly
- referred to today as the 'Venlo Meetings', and the forerunners of the modern
- 'computer parties'. The first copy parties (as they were known in those
- days) started appearing this year.
-
- I August, a tool was released that would change the demo world forever. A
- german coder by the name of Karsten Obarski released his music composition
- program "SoundTracker" through the software house EAS. The original version
- supported 5 effects; Portamento Up/Down, Set Volume, Set Secondary Tempo and
- Arpeggio =] Version 1.21 was released in december.
-
- hardware - Two new Amigas were introduced this year, the A500 and the A2000.
- The 'new' C64 was released, to replace the more bulky, old one...and I
- bought one ;) Version 1.2 of the Amiga operating system was released. One of
- the most popular (and most controversial) c64 cartridges were released, The
- Final Cartridge III.
