Some remarks to the different parts:

Asterix's part contains multiple scrolls with all different speeds. It was at the
time the first one to create so many different scrolls with differents speeds.

TMP's part contained three interesting features. First of all the sinus scroll at the
top. This idea was perfected later on by others adding a mouvement into the sinus curve.
The second part is the vertical scaled raster bars. TMP was one of the first ones
to implement this effect at the time.
The third feature being the big fat jumping hardware scroll below the bars.
And last but not least the big sprite on the bottom. Interesting was especially
the smooth mouvement of it.

Warlock's part, once again very colourful contained two very interesting features.
First the smooth upscroll which was a new thing on the scene at the time.
And the never equalled genius effect in the middle: The coloured rasters in the
middle.
The spectacular thing about it is that it contains many more than the 27 colour tones
the CPC was having.

'''MC-Paddy II (1990)''' was the second of three "only 72 hours"-Demos created by the swiss trio [[Asterix]], [[TMP]] and [[Warlock]].

In the end this party was done three times, see also [[MC-Paddy I]] and [[MC-Paddy III]].

MC-Paddy I

2006-12-31T14:14:51Z

81.62.183.86:

'''MC-Paddy I (1989)''' was the first of three "only 72 hours"-Demos created by the swiss trio [[Asterix]], [[TMP]] and [[Warlock]].

The idea behind those parties was to create an entire demo from scratch in three days time.

The name MC-Paddy stands for MC (Machine Code) Paddy (Party) and was to be understood as a bit of a programming marathon.

Two other MC-Paddies followed this one: [[MC-Paddy II]] and [[MC-Paddy III]].
