Eagle Soft Incorporated

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eagle Soft Incorporated is a US cracker or demo group .

description

The group was formed in 1982 and initially operated the cracking (called cracking ) of C-64 computer games. The copy protection of the game in question was removed and the game was then signed with its own programmed opening credits (so-called intro ) (see also Crack (software) ). Characteristic for the cracker opening credits of Eagle Soft Inc. were mostly lyrical texts, mainly by the Canadian progressive rock band Rush , which were usually displayed as scrolling text, as well as a, for the conditions at the time and for the technical possibilities of the C-64, distinctive graphic design.

The cracked games from Eagle Soft Inc. spread rapidly in the American computer scene and finally reached Europe. Through this multiple copying, the group gained international recognition. At the end of the 1980s, Eagle Soft increasingly switched to the Amiga 500 or PC.

The group continues to operate in the demo scene with a changing line-up .
