- Lazer — Austria, founded July 1988
A crack intro from Lazer, the Austrian group self-described as "Absolutely No.1 in Austria!" Released on 10 September 1989, the code is credited to Techno on CSDb. No SID data or music credits are recorded, suggesting the intro may use a simple built-in sound routine or an unidentified ripped tune. Lazer was founded in July 1988 and quickly established itself as Austria's most visible cracking group. Doc Snyder's page documents their broader catalogue, with coders including The Mysterious Art, Jack Ready, The Edge, Dux, and Count Hadik, and musicians spanning Charles Deenen, Stefan Hartwig, JCH, Diflex, and Link. The scrolltexts on Doc Snyder's page reveal Lazer greeting a vast European network — NATO, Ikari, Beyond Force, Cosmos, Byterapers, and Pulsar among many others. This joins #464 Lazer-01 and #969 Lazer-11 among the group's ranked entries.
