EVS (Edwin van Santen) — "So-Phisticated III (part 3)"

This crack intro from Tristar — a German group founded in July 1987 — dates to 1990 and is catalogued on CSDb as release #241051 under the title "Tristar Intro Edit V1.0," classified as a C64 Tool rather than a standard crack intro. Both the code and graphics were created by Sledge, and the music is by EVS (Edwin van Santen), using the SID tune "So-Phisticated III (part 3)" from the HVSC. Doc Snyder's page confirms these credits for Crack Intro #04 and maps it to CSDb release #241051. The scrolltext — signed by Madman — sends greetings to Omega, Sharks+TNT, Yankees, and WOW. The "Intro Edit" designation on CSDb suggests this release served as a customizable intro-creation tool, allowing users to modify scrolltext and other parameters — a practice that was common among prolific cracking groups of the era. Sledge's dual role as coder and graphician was typical for German groups of this period.
