A crack intro from the Beastie Boys — a German group founded in July 1987 who became one of the most prolific intro producers in the C64 scene. Ultimax coded this 1989 release, which features Holger Knipping's "Ghost Trap" on the SID chip. The Beastie Boys are heavily represented in the rankings with entries spanning their entire active period, including #35 BB-10, #16 BB-02, and #132 BB-09 among their highest-placed. Ultimax also appears as coder on other BB entries, confirming his central role in the group's output. The group's core membership — The Syndicate, Accept, Captain Future, Profi, and Electro — is documented across multiple scrolltexts preserved on Doc Snyder's page. Operating under the motto "Dream or Reality," the Beastie Boys maintained an active presence in the German cracking scene throughout the late 1980s.
