History

Released: 24 December 1988
Music: "Ninja Remix" (ripped)
Group: The Shaolin Monastery — United States, founded December 1988

Rad Man coded this early Shaolin Monastery intro, released on Christmas Eve 1988 — the same month the group was founded. The ripped "Ninja Remix" SID provides the soundtrack, while Andrew Sleigh and Bob Hawker contributed the charset design. As one of the earliest intros in the TSM catalogue, this represents the group's formative period when Rad Man served as their primary coder and cracker. The Shaolin Monastery would go on to produce at least thirteen crack intros between December 1988 and July 1994, making them one of the more prolific American C64 cracking operations. Other TSM intros in this collection include TSM-06, which features multi-tune music by Falco Paul and Deek. The group dissolved in September 1994 after nearly six years of activity. TSM's martial arts-themed name reflected the era's pop culture fascination with kung fu films, a naming convention shared by several other scene groups of the period.
