CSDb catalogues this as Fairlight Intro V1.0 — released on 22 April 1987, just eight days after the group's founding on 14 April 1987. The only credited contributor is Jon Hare for the charset — a name shared with the co-founder of Sensible Software, the studio behind Sensible Soccer and Cannon Fodder, though whether this is the same person is unconfirmed. No separate code or music credits are listed. This is the seventh numbered Fairlight intro, appearing alongside the legendary #2 FLT-01 in the rankings. The "V1.0" designation suggests this was conceived as a foundational template. Fairlight would go on to become one of the most iconic names in both C64 and PC cracking history, with Hugi documenting their story in "The Delight of Eternal Might." Doc Snyder's page preserves the group's extensive catalogue, spanning from these early 1987 productions through modern-era releases by coders like Dwangi and Pantaloon.
