"Today there are specialized software to create demos but you can do it without these." It's a bit poorly formulated because back in the day people had nothing but a text editor.

I was going to mention Scream Tracker, but the Swedish language link names Fasttracker (apparently Swedish made, while Scream Tracker is by the Future Crew who hail from Finland).
