Equinox was a group in the Amiga scene, with an active period between
the years 1987-1996 with numerous of talented members and releases.
The name Equinox was not used from the beginning. In the early days we
were called The Powerlords, or sometimes The Powerlords Corporation,
which consisted of sections in Sweden, Norway and UK.
At the end of 1990, just after The Powerlords and Aurora's Amiga Halloween
Conference, TPL was about to break up. Some members did have some short
adventures in other groups at this time.
In december 1990 the former organizers of UK, Sweden and Norway decided
to keep the best members and change the group name to Equinox, and from
that day The Powerlords were reborn as Equinox.
Equinox was then organized by Ray in Norway (former TPL Nor. organizer),
Tripwire in the UK (former TPL UK organizer, had a membership in
TRSI in between), and Rioter (former TPL Swe. organizer, had a membership
in Scoopex in between). Leviathan was the first demo released announcing
the birth of Equinox, and shortly Procyon joined in as organizer of
the Finnish section and Duke as organizer of the swiss section.
Uptil 1993, Equinox was a pure demo group, but then we started to
grow at large in the trading and board scene as well. Lot's of traders
and some of Sweden's biggest boards at the time joined in the group.
Equinox primetime chart, the European Top 20, reflected this by having
lot's of board scene related categories and articles.
The Equinox World Headquarter, Total Overdose, was ran by Rioter on a
multi node dial in system, due to people doing military service and
other events Rioter had at this time also taken the role as the overall
organizer.
Equinox Had the following Boards during the years:
Total Overdose (WHQ) - Sysop Rioter
Zoomed Reality (EHQ) - Sysop Zool
Rapid House (EHQ) - Sysop Rapid Angel
Traders Paradise (Scand. HQ) - Sysop Macroman
Repulse (Swedish HQ) - Sysop Silencer
Ice Palace (Swedish HQ) - Sysop XStaz
Techno City (Swedish HQ) - Sysop Terminator
Traders Island (Swedish HQ) - Sysop V-Cut
Psycho Terminal (US HQ) - Sysop Whiz
No Limits (Canada HQ) - Sysop Diskomate
Motown (Finnish HQ) - Sysop Dope
Atlantica (Norwegian HQ) - Sysop Mr.Nico
Wonderland (Norwegian HQ) - Sysop Black Angel
A different world (Swiss hq) - Sysop Fineline
In 1994, many of Equinox members had came to the age
where they were leaving school, finding careers, and
had little time or interest left for the scene. The
group was slowly dissolving. At the end it was mostly
the Norwegian members keeping the group alive, led by
Ray and Vip.
