- Assasins [ASI]
This intro comes from the Assasins, abbreviated ASI -- a group for which no CSDb release entry was located. The group name uses the single-S spelling "Assasins" rather than the standard "Assassins," a distinctive orthographic choice that appears consistent across all references. The CSDb search returned only generic top-ranked entries rather than group-specific results, suggesting the Assasins may not be catalogued under that exact name. No individual credits are available, and searches across Demozoo, Doc Snyder's page, Atlantis, and other scene archives returned no results. The intros.c64.org listing generated discussion from community members Rough and Changeling over several years in 2010. Without a confirmed country of origin, founding date, or member roster, the Assasins remain largely unidentifiable beyond their preserved intro. Like many small cracking operations from the C64 era, the group produced work that survives only as binary files -- their organisational history, geographic base, and membership having been lost to time.
