- Eagle Soft Incorporated — Canada, founded 1982
The tenth catalogued intro from Eagle Soft Incorporated and the lowest-ranked ESI entry in this collection at position 930. Doc Snyder's page credits the standard ESI production team — Mitch Solomon on code, Antony Crowther on music, and Scorpio on graphics — though individual attribution to this specific variant is approximate. ESI was founded in Canada in 1982, making them one of the oldest cracking groups on the Commodore 64. The group produced multiple intro variants between 1985 and 1988, all built around the same visual and musical template centred on Scorpio's eagle artwork. The lower ranking likely reflects either limited distribution or a less distinctive variant within the ESI catalogue. This entry sits far below the iconic #1 ESI-02 and #7 ESI-09, yet its inclusion in the archive confirms it as a documented ESI production. The group's broader influence on North American cracking culture remains among the most significant of any C64 group.
