- Ikari — United Kingdom, founded July 1987
A dual-coder intro with Ash and Dave sharing programming duties — unusual for crack intros where a single coder typically handled everything. Jeroen Tel contributed two of his compositions: "Reggae Example" and "Ikari Union," the latter becoming something of a group anthem that appeared in multiple Ikari intros. Tel's presence here reinforces the strong Dutch-British pipeline that defined Ikari's musical identity. Both SIDs are preserved in the HVSC under Tel's extensive directory. Released on 15 April 1988, this was one of several intros Ikari released in rapid succession during that spring. Doc Snyder's page preserves the full credits and scrolltext. The use of a dedicated group anthem ("Ikari Union") was a branding strategy — giving the group a recognizable audio signature across their many releases.
