History

Released
13 December 1985
Group
Ace Crackings — Denmark, founded 1985

This crack intro from Ace Crackings was released on 13 December 1985, making it one of the oldest entries in the entire collection. The Danish group, abbreviated "ACI," was founded in 1985 and operated during the earliest phase of organized C64 software cracking. No individual credits for code or music are recorded on the CSDb release page, which is not unusual for intros from this period — the mid-1980s predated the convention of crediting individual contributors in crack intros. Ace Crackings is also represented at #139 Ace Intro #1, which ranks considerably higher. The group does not appear on Demozoo, Doc Snyder's page, or in any indexed diskmag articles. Denmark was home to several notable cracking groups during this era, and Ace Crackings was among the early wave. The intro was submitted to intros.c64.org and received a comment from Rough in September 2010.
