Hoaxers is a
demo group for the legendary
Commodore 64. It is based in the
Norwegian city of
Trondheim, but also has members from Northern
Norway and
Finland.
The members are Anxiety (code), BHF (code/graphics), Crite (code), Firehawk (code), Humanoid (code), Lapskaus Design (graphics), Nukid (code), Parody (graphics), Rune (swap), Scorpie (swap), Shadow (graphics/swap), Smiley (code) and Trent (code). There was also a musician called Codex, but he left for
Razor 1911 on
Amiga in the late
eighties.
The group made several demos. Among these were 'Ready For Destruction' (1989), 'Frantic' (1989), 'Fragments' (1989), 'Conquerer' (1990), 'Breathless' (1991) and 'Frantic 2' (1991).
They also arranged a couple of very succesfull parties in
Trondheim. The largest ones were the Tonstad Party and the Selsbakk Party, but the miniparties at Ila Samfunnshus were also a lot of fun. The first that comes to mind is the beer run competition in Ila park, where Marius Kintel from Panoramic Design almost got run over by a
tram. A video recording actually existed of that incident, but it was lost at the 1991 Horizon party in
Stockholm.
