- Eagle Soft Incorporated — Canada, founded 1982
CSDb catalogues this as the "prism" variant of the Eagle Soft Incorporated intro, released in 1985. No individual credits for code, music, or graphics are listed — unusual for ESI, whose other intros credit Mitch as coder and Scorpio as graphics artist. The 1985 release date places this among the group's earliest productions, predating the more famous eagle-logo intros that appeared in 1987. Eagle Soft Incorporated was founded in Canada in 1982, making them one of the first North American cracking groups on the C64. This intro sits alongside #10 ESI-01 and #1 ESI-02 in the rankings — the latter holding the top position overall. Doc Snyder's page preserves the group's tagline "The Few — The Proud — The Best" and documents their scrolltext archives. The "prism" descriptor distinguishes this early visual design from the iconic eagle motif that would later define the group's identity.
