This crack intro from the Danish group Bonzai is catalogued on CSDb as release #95130, dated 23 August 1991. Code is credited to Crush, graphics to Stiff, the charset split between Spacie and Scrap, and two SID tunes — "Def Con One" by Laxity (Thomas E. Petersen) and "CoverGirl Strip Poker" by Scortia (Thomas Bendt) — both preserved in the HVSC. Bonzai operated under the tagline "More than just a tree" — a play on the Japanese art of bonsai. Doc Snyder's page confirms Crush as coder and Stiff as artist, with Scortia credited for music. The scrolltext describes a crack of "PP Hammer" completed in approximately two hours and references a party co-hosted with Amnesia/Starion — where a false fire alarm reportedly cost 20,000 Danish kroner. Light won the party's demo competition, followed by Camelot and Spirit.
