Deadline Crack Intro #01 is a January 1992 release from the British cracking group Deadline, founded in November 1991. The intro was coded by Derbyshire Ram, with music by Jeroen Tel and Rob Hubbard -- their SID tracks "Remark Intro" and "Thanatos" respectively are both preserved in the High Voltage SID Collection. The scrolltext announces a crack of "Bubble Dizzy" from Codemasters, cracked and trained on 27 January 1992. Extensive greetings send "English beers" and "alpha greets" to dozens of groups including Acrise, Active, Censor Design, Chromance, Crest, Dominators, Enigma, Fairlight, F4CG, Genesis Project, Legend, and many others. USA greetings are directed to TSM, ATC, NEI, Empire, and Exodus. Doc Snyder's page also documents a joint Arcade and Deadline intro from 1992, coded by Telemachus with Rob Hubbard's "Thanatos" reused -- suggesting a close relationship between the two groups. The release is preserved on CSDb as entry #96627.
