3d starfields have been around for as long as there are demos/intros (well, more or less) :)

Depends on what you call '3d effect', an effect using 3d perspective (it could be just dots) or the usual rotating 3d objects with polyfiller or wireframe mode.

The oldest I can remember on Atari ST is this TNT Demo, made in 1987. It features a 3d computer in wireframe (realtime afair, not some precomputed animation).

An amazing breakthrough on Atari ST was the 3D part in the Union demo (january 1989) that featured complex (concave) 3D objects

There is some earlier realtime 3d stuff (not the usual precomputed Boink or Juggler demos) on other platforms but I just can't remember. If anyone has examples, that's an interesting topic :)
