Ranked #21 on intros.c64.org, this Ikari release is catalogued on CSDb as "Ikari Intro" and dated 12 July 1988. The Mercenary Cracker is credited for the charset, and the soundtrack is "L.L.L." by JCH — Jens-Christian Huus — preserved in the HVSC under his composer directory. CSDb does not attach a code credit to this release, and Doc Snyder's verified section for Crack Intro #09 opens with the note "This intro is missing info" and lists only the charset and music handles above. The result is a well-documented musical and typographic attribution paired with an anonymous coder — a recognisable pattern for mid-1988 Ikari releases when freelance SID composers often outshone the more quietly credited technical side of production.
