Madsquad — Netherlands, founded 1987

This Madsquad crack intro from December 1987 is catalogued on CSDb as release #53416 under the name "Madsquad Intro 03." No individual credits for code, music, or graphics are listed on CSDb for this production. Doc Snyder lists it as Madsquad Crack Intro #01 and likewise records no credited contributors. Madsquad was a Dutch cracking group founded in 1987, part of the Netherlands' active scene during the C64's peak years. The scrolltext includes a ranked greetings list — a common convention of the era — placing Ace, TPI, FCS, and FAC at the top. A separate scrolltext describes a mega in-game trainer and notes that bytes were altered to prevent re-cracking. The New Year wishes in the text are consistent with the December 1987 release date on CSDb. Madsquad appears to have been a relatively small operation, with only three numbered intros documented on CSDb — suggesting a short period of activity within the competitive Dutch cracking scene.
