A three-SID crack intro from Laser, the British group founded in 1986. Released on 25 July 1993, the intro features compositions by dEViLOCk (Peter Siekmann), Iron Cat (Alain Hertenstein), and Francois Prijt. All three SIDs are preserved in the HVSC. No coder or graphic artist is individually credited on CSDb for this release, though Doc Snyder's page identifies Ironfist as the coder on other Laser intros. The multi-composer jukebox approach was a hallmark of Laser's later productions — #311 Laser-02 featured five SIDs, and #483 Laser-05 continued the pattern. dEViLOCk's music also appears in X-Rated intros, while Iron Cat contributed to Triad productions, demonstrating how musicians served as connective tissue between otherwise separate groups. By mid-1993, the C64 cracking scene had contracted substantially, making Laser's continued multi-SID output a notable commitment to production quality.
