CSDb confirms this as "Array Intro 02" (release #80698), released in 1989 and coded by Rygar with music jointly credited to Markus Schneider and Jens Blidon. The SID tune -- "Game On (intro)" -- is preserved in the HVSC under the Schneider directory. Doc Snyder's page credits the music to Diflex, Schneider's scene handle, and lists VIP as the graphic artist. Array was a German cracking group founded in 1989, as confirmed by CSDb group data (group ID 723). The scrolltext references a crack of "Terrafighter" and sends greetings to FRL, 2000 AD, Sphinx, Dominators, F4CG, Cosmos, Genesis Project, Tristar, and others -- placing Array within the German cracking network of the late 1980s. CSDb catalogues multiple Array releases including five numbered intros, logo shows, and the demo "Starray," suggesting a group with modest but genuine scene participation. The group's output tapered off relatively quickly, with "How Array Died" appearing as a later release title.
