- Future — Norway, founded 1988
Future's sole ranked intro, released on 15 April 1989, features code by both MRG and CIA — a dual-coder arrangement less common in crack intros of the era. Thomas handled the graphics while Blitz contributed the charset. The music is Laxity's "Ikari Intro Song" — a Thomas Petersen composition originally written for Ikari, preserved in the HVSC. Doc Snyder's page confirms CIA as the coder and notes the scrolltext's mention of cracking "Chicago's 30" from tape. Founded in Norway in 1988, Future operated during the Scandinavian scene's most active period. The scrolltext greets Ikari, Elite, Abnormal, DCS, and The Shadows — a cross-section of both Norwegian and international groups. The reuse of Laxity's Ikari-branded tune by a different group illustrates how popular SID compositions circulated freely across the scene, often outliving their original context.
