Hello.

Good question. I would say that intros and demos have existed right in
the beginning of the c64 days, if not earlier. I'm quite sure they
existed on the Vic-20 and the PETs.

How about nominating the famous "Christmas Demo" as made by Commodore to
introduce their c64 as the first 'intro' or demo? It is an intro in the
sense that it's trying to introduce the c64 and was supposed to be
running on store displays. It had text, graphics and sound.
