Ranked #12 on intros.c64.org, this 1989 release is one of the most popular Ikari intros. CSDb catalogues it as "Ikari intro" and credits The Syndicate for the code and Jeroen Tel for the music. The soundtrack is a rip of Tel's "Cybernoid II" — the title tune Tel composed for Raffaele Cecco's shoot-'em-up of the same name, published by Hewson Consultants — preserved in the HVSC under Tel's composer directory. No graphics handle is credited on this particular release. Doc Snyder's group page for Ikari lists multiple sibling intros under different "Crack Intro #NN" headings, with divergent scrolltexts and credits; for this release the CSDb record is the authoritative source. Ikari was founded in the UK in July 1987 and remained one of the most prolific names in European cracking for years afterwards. See also #6 Ikari and #15 Ikari.
