The Carebears Demo Crew

TCB, the abreviation of The Carebears were one of the most successful and well known Atari ST demo crews of their time. Their biggest impact was the release of the "Cuddly Demos" which set the standard for the Atari demo scene for many years to come. Apart from the usual eye catching effects the main innovation was heavy use of a technqiue called "sync-scrolling" which enabled the ST to emulate hardware scrolling (a feature present in the ST's competitor the Amiga). Although used in several screens it was the BIG Scroll demo that had most coders scratching their heads as it was calculated to be impossible to do.

The Carebears went on to release many other demos that demonstrated a variety of skills including clever use of pre-generated sprites, digital music players and 3D work
