TranceMission is a group known for creating demos and intros, primarily in the early 1990s. These demos often showcased advanced graphics, sound, and programming techniques using Turbo Pascal and assembler. The group was led by Stefan Koelle, who was responsible for coding, graphics, and music. TranceMission's work was characterized by creative animations, sound effects, and interactive elements, making them a notable name in the demo scene of that era. Their productions were designed to run on DOS-based PCs, often pushing the hardware capabilities of the time.
