Vision was originally a dutch demo group, probably formed in 1989 (at least
that's when their first productions were released). 1989 saw the release of
no less than two megademos from this young group, as well as some minor
productions. The following year would see a massive amount of releases being
poured out, before they presumably died in early 1992. Only one production
was released that year, the Anarchy cooperation slideshow "Focused On Art".
  1990 - German Malzam (ex Paranoimia) made a very quick stop around july
before moving on to the new group Angels.

Norwegian coder and trader Face The Facts (old handle Octoplex, ex Dual
  Crew, re) got busted for greyboxing in 92, which probably meant the end to
  his scene career. His previous groups were Gate, Anarchy, Palace and
  Spirit.
Graphician JMS (ex Faith), who joined with Xan, was later in Artwork.
Plasma joined Scoopex.
Germans Placid (music, 11/93) and Mr.King (swap pack, ex Analog) joined
  Scoopex, and Mr.King took his famous packmag 'NeverMind' with him.
Shapechanger joined Suburban Base.
Swedes Atheist, Excel and Mindphaser (old handle The Joker, all ex Energy,
  02/94), Shock (ex Iris, 02/94) and Skepp left to join Freezers.
Danish musician Tropeduft joined Outlaws.
Norwegian graphician Mindblaster (Stian, ex Wizzcat?/ex Scoopex?, 09/91)
  left the scene early 93.
Lawbreaker joined Razor 1911 (RAW5).
Tripwire joined Crystal (RAW4).
Swedish trader Magic (ex Alpha Flight) joined Crack Inc.
Kevin Key (sysop 'INSIDE TREATMENT'/'FLASHBACK', ex The Silents) joined
  Scoopex.
The Norwegian division is dead. Flesh and others are planning to form a new
  group. This may be Angels new.
Auqa/Addonic joined, but left for Surprise! Productions a few weeks later.
German sysops Sniffy and Helioth ('SPIRITUAL HEALING', ex Alpha Flight,
  new ca 06/92) joined, but later they and Boonkid (ex Agnostic Front, new
  RAW3) left to form a new crew with some Swedish guys (RAW3).
Swedish sysop Twister ('FLASHBACK', new RAW3) joined from Agile (after a few
  days in Razor 1911), but later sold all his gear to Kevin Key, who is now
  running it (RAW3).
Amitech (sysop 'THE PHANTOM ZONE', new RAW3) and Lion (ex New Wave, new
  RAW3) quickly joined Offence (RAW3).
Norwegian Corny (ex Network) joined The Silents late 91.
The Dutch division died late 1991, and soon-to-be-famous graphician Facet
  (07/89-09/91) joined Anarchy. Coder Crackerjack (08/90) joined the
  original Axis.
Norwegians Octoplex, Mindblaster and Flash joined Dual Crew. Mindblaster and
  Flash then joined Scoopex, only to return to Vision (RAW1). Octoplex also
  later returned, using his new handle Face The Facts.
Finnish Starfader changed his handle to Mellow D and joined Miranda 12/90.
Dutchman Shock (07/89) left the group in 90.
English sysop Splatt ('SPLATTER HOUSE') joined Classic old 90.

  review: Very 1989 this, with copper-effects dominating. Apparently an
  intro for a pack of some kind. There's a badly drawn logo in grey on the
  middle of the screen, and in addition to the copper fx on the background
  there's also a scroller and some equalizers. Not too exciting. Please
  note that no actual credits appear in the intro, so I'm just assuming New
  Deal is the coder... [glenn]

  code: TSM, gfx: Facet (font), Hein Design (font 2), music: Dutch Usa Team
  (Music Assembler format, 7724 bytes, 1 subsong).  Cooperation with Mirage.
  info: The music credit seems dubious (the D-USA Team was a c64 group,
  famous for creating the music editor RockMonitor on that platform), it is
  possibly a cover version? There was a Venlo Meeting on this date, and it
  was probably released there... It is more uncertain exactly what party
  this intro is supposed to invite to... I can find no reference to a 1991
  copy party in 'Tilburg', and no others that match either :(

  nicely designed opening sequence...setting the scene for one of the best
  little demos of 1991!

. Violation Packmenu (1991?, ECS Intro).
  code: TSM, gfx: Hein Design, music: n/a (NoisePacker 1/2 format).
  review: This is a real nice, though non-innovative packmenu produced by
  the dutch members of Vision, though the pack itself was released by the
  Norwegians. A bouncy scroll is at the lower half of the screen, and the
  rest is occupied by the selector menu - overlaid over a 'skrå'-moving
  Vision logo. The music for the version reviewed is uncredited, but is a
  chippy with a nice melody. The overall impression of the menu is very
  good, with good clear graphics. There are some compatibility problems,
  though - on my machine, the selector graphics were not displayed, though
  the intro itself worked perfectly! When it was run from WB with KillAGA,
  it worked perfectly (selector graphics and all), but destabilized my
  system upon exit, resulting in a guru shortly after. Reviewed is the menu
  for Violation #69 (released at Razor and Imp 666's 'Arendal' party,
  29.09-91).
. GLE tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 16mb fast/3.1.
