North Star was an exclusively Swedish demo group, perhaps best known for their early diskmag "Exceller 8" and their two members Kaktus and Mahoney - authors of the origina NoiseTracker and some truly wild musicdisks! =) Starfire coded a couple of antivirus bootblocks that acted in a way the writers of the viruskillers didn't appreciate... They were therefore - to this day, even - classified as viruses. There's little doubt that Starfire never meant for this. 1988 - The first issue of their pioneering diskmag Exceller 8 was released in cooperation with Fairlight. Coder Celebrandil joined. 1989 - Three more issues of Exceller 8 were released, one more with Fairlight and finally two more with The Silents. They lost Celebrandil (code) to Fairlight. Swedish musician Titan contributed music to the demo "Big" by the Swedish division of Scoopex. He would later join Scoopex himself, under the handle Uncle Tom. 1990 - French section was formed around the middle of the year by members of Brain Wave. They all finally left for Agile in 1991.
