The largest pure demoparty of the present day — the German Easter party that inherited Breakpoint's role as the scene's flagship.
Revision was first held in 2011 in Saarbrücken and stepped straight into the place of Breakpoint (2003–2010), which had ended the year before. It is a pure demoparty rather than a broad computer party: the focus is the compos and the big demo compo on Saturday night, streamed live to an audience spread across the world.
With hundreds of productions a year across every platform — from C64 and Amiga to modern PCs and 4k intros — Revision serves as the scene's annual shop window. Winning its demo compo is in practice the heaviest line a scener can add to their CV, the legacy of an unbroken chain of German Easter parties going back to Mekka & Symposium in the 1990s.
