The Shadows — Norway, founded 1986

Omega Supreme coded this intro for The Shadows — a Norwegian group founded in 1986 by Moonray, who also contributed the charset design here. The ripped music draws from two sources: Matt Gray's "Bangkok Knights Loader" and Dave Lee's "Erebus," suggesting a multi-tune setup. Released on 17 December 1987, this was used in cracks of BraveStarr and Gauntlet II. The Shadows accumulated approximately 195 releases between 1986 and 1991, making them one of Norway's most prolific C64 operations. Members included coders Beholder, Fiction, and Jab alongside crackers Firkin, Jaws, and Storm Shadow. Two additional Shadows intros also appear in this collection — TSW-04 and TSW-06. Norway's scene was smaller than Sweden's but produced several noteworthy groups, with The Shadows among the most active during the platform's peak years.
