Ikari Crack Intro #05 -- catalogued on CSDb as "Excell Tribute" -- is a C64 intro released on 27 December 2014, created as a tribute production rather than a traditional crack intro. CSDb credits Excell for graphics, Laxity (Thomas E. Petersen) for music using his "Ikari Intro" SID composition, and Sextone for additional graphics, with the idea credited to Dwangi. Doc Snyder's page lists the intro under Ikari with code by Tri-Dos and music by Laxity. The release earned a rating of 8.24 on CSDb. The tribute nature of this production highlights the enduring legacy of Excell -- one of the C64 scene's most prolific intro coders -- and the esteem in which he was held by the community. Ikari was founded in July 1987 in the UK and was known by the tagline "For the best -- trade with the best." The release is preserved on CSDb as release #135626, verified through the Doc Snyder link.
