History

Released: 24 January 1988
Group: Actual Cracking Entertainment [ACE] — Germany
Music: Ben Daglish — Masters of the Universe

This crack intro from Actual Cracking Entertainment is catalogued on CSDb as release #53846, dated 24 January 1988. The only credited contributor is Ben Daglish — the professional game musician whose composition "Masters of the Universe" provides the soundtrack, preserved in the HVSC. No individual coder is recorded on CSDb for this specific intro. The scrolltext announces a crack of "Terramex" from Grand Slam by Coco on 4 February 1988 and includes a ranking list placing Ikari, Dominators, Madsquad, and Fairlight among ACE's top-rated peers. Contact details point to Coco and Dr. Strange in the Dornheim and Gross-Gerau areas of West Germany, and the text teases an upcoming copy party. This sits below the higher-ranked #136 ACE Intro #1, which features code by Coco and music by Red.
