- Fairlight — Sweden, founded 14 April 1987
CSDb catalogues this as the "Fairlight Intro (Golden Collection)" — coded by Rowdy with music by David Hanlon. The SID tune is Hanlon's "Enlightenment: Druid II," a composition that became synonymous with Fairlight's crack intros. Doc Snyder's page confirms this association, showing Hanlon's Druid II music appearing across multiple Fairlight intros — a signature sonic identity for the group. Fairlight was a Swedish group founded on 14 April 1987 that became one of the most legendary names in C64 cracking history, later expanding to other platforms. Hugi diskmag covered the group extensively, including a full history article titled "The Delight of Eternal Might." Fairlight's numerous ranked intros — including #2 Flt-01 and #27 Flt-09 — demonstrate the group's sustained creative output. The "Golden Collection" subtitle suggests this intro was associated with a compilation release.
