A crack intro from Laser, the British group founded in 1986 — not to be confused with Lazer of Austria. Released on 28 January 1988, Steve coded the intro, Pete Harrison created the charset, and Mad (Marcel Donne) composed the music — a tune titled "Ikari Intro" preserved in the HVSC. The tune's name suggests it may have originally been composed for or associated with the Ikari group before being adopted here. Doc Snyder's page documents two other Laser intros, coded by Ironfist, with music by Gangstar and Genius. The group abbreviated itself as LCS and maintained contacts within the British cracking scene. This entry joins #311 Laser-02 and #483 Laser-05 among the group's ranked intros. Laser was one of several British groups active during 1986-1988, a period when UK crackers competed actively with Scandinavian and German rivals for scene dominance.
