CSDb confirms this as one of The Force's most widely used intros, with music composed by Guy Shavitt -- the group's primary musician and co-leader. Shavitt's "Sidchip Music Score 12" is preserved in the HVSC. Released in 1991, this intro appeared in over 75 cracked games by The Force, making it the group's most reused frontend by a wide margin. The Force was an Israeli group founded in 1985 by Danny and Ronny, accumulating 366 documented releases. Guy Shavitt served as coder and musician from 1986 to 1992, also founding the Sidchip Scratchers music group. The staggering number of cracks using this single intro -- from Afterworld to various sports titles -- established it as The Force's definitive visual identity during their early-1990s peak. Other Force intros in this collection include force-05 and force-19. Israel's scene was geographically isolated from the European mainland, making import connections crucial for accessing new software.
