- Danish Gold — Denmark, founded 1984
A single-coder production from Danish Gold, one of Denmark's early cracking groups. KNP coded the intro, released on 13 July 1987, with no separate music or graphics credits recorded on CSDb. Danish Gold was founded in 1984, placing them among the first wave of Scandinavian cracking operations on the C64. The group's abbreviated tag "D-G" appeared on their releases. Their archived website, preserved via the Wayback Machine, confirms sustained community interest well beyond the group's active years. Denmark would become one of the most prolific countries in the C64 scene, producing legendary groups and musicians throughout the late 1980s. Danish Gold's early founding date positions them as part of the infrastructure that made Denmark's outsized scene contributions possible. The intro attracted a comment on intros.c64.org, indicating continued collector interest in this early Danish production.
