- The Wild Boys — United States, founded 1987
A crack intro from The Wild Boys (TWB), an American cracking and importing group founded in 1987. CSDb documents that TWB formed from the ashes of American Pirates Elite Exchange and operated until 1988 under the motto "A Dream To Girls, A Nightmare To Your Mom!" The group maintained approximately 74 releases and multiple BBSes, including "The Guru's Hookah" on the UCSB campus. Key members included ALS*JKA (coder, cracker, graphician), Boxhead (coder, cracker), Dungeon Master (coder, cracker), The Charlatan (coder), and Master Guru (cracker, original supplier). The group had connections with The Papillons Inc. and relied on importers like Slyde, Sinbad, and Optic Freeze to maintain transatlantic supply lines. The name references the 1984 Duran Duran hit single — a pop culture borrowing common in the C64 scene. CSDb lists separate groups called The Wild Boys in the United Kingdom and Austria, confirming the need for the "(US)" designation used on intros.c64.org.
