Catalogued on CSDb as release #232841 under the name "Nostalgia Intro," this crack intro was released on 30 May 2023 and carries a CSDb rating of 8.89/10. Erhan coded the intro while 6R6 — Glenn Rune Gallefoss — composed the SID tune "Axel F," preserved in the HVSC. No graphics or charset credits are listed on CSDb. The tune title references Harold Faltermeyer's famous Beverly Hills Cop theme — a composition that became a popular target for SID remixes. Doc Snyder's page documents Erhan as one of Nostalgia's active coders alongside 6R6, S!R, Jedi, and Didi. Nostalgia was founded in February 1995 and has remained continuously active for nearly three decades, producing over 80 numbered intros. The 2023 release date places this squarely in the group's modern output period. The intros.c64.org listing attracted four comments between 2009 and 2011, including from prominent archivists Rough and Conrad.
