Emulators Crack Intro #02 is a January 1996 release from the Emulators, preserved on CSDb as entry #104796. The intro was coded by Xenox, with music by EVS (Edwin van Santen), whose SID track "Just Cool!" is preserved in the High Voltage SID Collection. The Emulators occupied a unique niche in the C64 scene -- rather than cracking new commercial releases, they focused on making old games compatible with PC emulators, CMD hard drives, and other modern storage devices. The scrolltext describes the group's first public appearance and explains their mission: preserving classic games "to watch the old games of the old times sometimes to be happy." It explicitly states that "Emulators has nothing to do with AFL" -- distancing the group from Alpha Flight 1970 despite apparent connections. The crack of "Creatures II" from Thalamus is mentioned, credited to The Ignorance. Greetings are sent to Remember, Nostalgia, Cyberpunx, AFL, and Chromance. EVS provided music for both catalogued Emulators intros.
