I thumb it up only by seeing the screenshot due to the nostalgia feeling. I think this was one of the first cracktros I saw on Amiga and if I am not mistaken I liked it at that time.

The music, the gfx... it all just makes me get warm and fuzzy inside :)
One of my favorite cracktros (and game) :)

RUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLEEEEEEZZZZ !!!
music is great
truly rocking intro. (yes kids, these were called intros back in the days. the word "cracktro" is blasphemy.)
the best!
ahah, memories :)
Interceptor was that airplane game, right? More arcade than simulation if my memory doesn't fail me

yeah, it was a flighsim and quite ok for that time, although f16 falcon was way more realistic..
nice one!
nice one!
:)
I loved looping and crash the interceptor ;)

The gameplay was much better than Falcon actaully in my oppinion. Great soundfx really the fealling of floating through high air at top speed!
Rulez with an outstanding tune!
this intro always reminds me of Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny.... one of my all time fav games!
Forgot to thumb up.
UnitA were great. Have they ever finished their 50. crack? ;)
Cj: I don't see why not.. Although #48 is the last one I personally have listed.
i remember me watching and hearing this for hours.... damn i think i could even write down the complete scrolltext...
Nice one.
It's so basic and got so classic. ;)
The game Interceptor used to have some funny bugs.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!
that intro rocks !
reminds me sooooo much things :')
I spent thousand hours playing Interceptor ! i succeed landing on the aircraft-carrier with the F-16 (without any hook !).
The menu's music was really marvellous ! (i always got the module on my c:/music/mod/games/ ;)
btw, i bought the sequel on PC, it was called "Jetfighter 2", by Bob Dinermann, a really great game too !
Too bad Jetfighter 3 was a pure shit :(

Legendary Cracktro!

Well sweet sweet Memories...
i love the game F18- It was quite nice...no wrong...it was the best flight simmulator back in those days and i played this one again and again.
Also i loved this wonderfull cracktro... by the way we all now from this time on, that gunther craemer was a thief coz he uses the copy routines of fast lightning in his own copy tool...
Listen to the sound and become crazy. One of my fav. cracktro back in 1988.
Btw. Unit As history ended with this cracktro.

I trust you mean this particular _type_ of crack intro, since there were at least 7 Unit A releases made after this one..
Great athmosphere, memories..
my alltime favourite cracktro!! very good!
Best cracktro.
Guenther is a thief!

Ahh, memories...
yep... nice intro... for this time ;)
great
This release has been listed at www.modcast.de as well the theme has been added to our radio-playlist.
Ah! Finally. My second cdc goes here.
This famous cracktro was added twice to pouet: dupe
From a different game.. No dupe.
Hmm, apparently it also has a different tune from this one ... okay, no dupe then :-)
Archmage: It is your cdc? I do not see it =).
one of the best cracktros ever - music rulez!!!
by the way: does anybody know where i can get this great mod?
What RA said!
The first crack intro I saw on my Amiga. I almost pissed my self with awe... cool times, even cooler intro! ;D
The music is obviously by Diz/Unit A despite what the link says (Mark II)
Wasn't DiZ = Darius Zendeh = Mark II ?
It would fit very well indeed. The comment by Dreamtide on Nectarine is lost now unfortunately.. His old handle was diz and he said that he made Unit A mods. According to AMP his real name is Dietmar Bos.
The first CDC I ever gave a prod goes to this one.
Ice cold! Stealing sucks ! ;) the first tune to ever play in my ancient 1993 tracker, btw :)
classik!

classic
yep the real thing
Still love the mood of the faceless cloaks. Truely oldschool!
holy fuck the song is so too fucking good to be true.
excellent intro.
excellent intro.
I remember this cracktro which is quite a achievement considering I was eight back then :D. It's fucking awesome so is the game.
yes, it is. and I was 11 back then, so this is an achievement for me too \o/ ..
by the way: there's a rather new graffiti piece on the s3 line in hamburg (near hammerbrooklyn) that somehow reminded me of this (if you travel towards harburg) ;) ..the spirit lives on..
..plus I was listening to this tune (a remix to be exact) the moment this popped up again on pouet :)
Where's my second thumb up :) ?

Cool 88 - cool!

this thread is long ago, just for the record:
this piece was indeed from me (Diz), not from Mark2. However, I know him and one of my favourite pieces comes from him.
I spare me to repeat all of what I've written here already:
http://www.exotica.org.uk/wiki/Unit_A
Have fun ye'all.

one additional: Besides writing the article for the beforementioned link, I posted them of what I still got in my library. It should be available there as well, just in case, anyone is interested. ( I even put my favorite Mark2 song in the Zip :) )
wth! One of the best.
Very nice design & zik !
jawdropper in 88
Unfuckwitable forever!
Might add that the whole vibe of this - especially thanks to the tune but also the overall 'darkness' - was a whole lot different to intros found on C64 cracks and maybe this was kind of a blueprint for similar intros to come later on from Classic or Paradox.

yay ... those good old times ! Scandal Scandal :)
Classic!
Behold!
Lol "scandal scandal". Decent music though.
Nostalgia
<3
So well designed!
:)
:)
legendary!!!!
Fond memories will bring the inevitable thumb, I feel ;) Not competitive technically, but the ST-01 music is an early song that was different and created a "haunting" feel together with the prudent design. All told, it commanded your attention.
WIN!
nostalgia thumb
amigaaaaaaaa
Nostalgia thumb.
nice
Even if I loved that game I never bought it. It was easy to start, but fucking hard to land. Tried it so many times. But back the crackintro. Yes, what StingRay says. Also for me it's the scrolltext I've been reading most times.
Now this is definitely nostalgia.
What else to say? Nothing.
Awesomely designed cracktro, esp if you consider it's from 1988.
Isn't it amusing that the first thing, before even announcing the cracked game is them complaining about copied routines? :D
-> proof that scene drama already existed in the ancient scene times

I reckon this intro must have been among the first ones I came across on my good old A500. I like the design and the mystic feeling it conveys. Despite the fact that not so much is happening on the screen I always had the impression that the individuals behind this production were smart heads who knew fairly well what they were doing. A couple of days ago, I read up some background information about Unit A on Exotica (written by Diz - who, by the way, hides his light under a bushel) . . . and yes, the former members of Unit A are smart! It would have been great to make your acquaintance back in the late 80s / early 90s. Conclusion: Unit A and this intro are legendary!
What ROG_VF said - a true classic of Amiga kewlness :)
Mandatory thumb
forever!
I gonna buy some BASF 3,5DD disks today. These were the days!
Legendary cracktro! Amazing music too!
Thumb up!
nice
Great early Amiga vibes
Are there other UA cracks available out there with this intro?

Yes, this was used in a large number (most likely the majority) of their cracks. See e.g. here.
What a classic!
