The Exceptions is the team name chosen by a group of home computer loving European teenagers who started writing their own demonstration computer programs for the Atari ST computer in the 1980s. Their German demo group was usually known by the shortened form TEX. Programming, pixelling and composing from their bedrooms they kickstarted the Atari ST demo scene in 1987 with programs called Little Sound Demo, Little Color Demo and then the large B.I.G Demo (Best In Galaxy). Later they made their part in The Union Demo which was a large Atari ST demo collection made by the demo group alliance know as The Union. Like most demo groups the members used handles or nick names to identify themselves.
