I tested it, and it ran fine on my PC. Although it did max out my GPU (3070 Ti) at various points so be warned it clearly has some pretty hefty system utilization.

GROUP NOTES
40 strong years. No other group on the PC ISO scene today even comes close to
such a long and uninterrupted activity, especially while keeping a continuous
succession of active members. No reboots, no new crews taking up an old name.
Just a sustained flow of dedicated people who pass on the heritage and spirit
of a true release group through the ages. All these individuals, past and
present, those who were caught and those who passed, are the ones to whom we
owe the fact that we are still here.
For a collective like ours, 40 years is nothing.
// Razor 1911 - class of 1985
-+-
Back in 1985, three goofy Norwegian teenagers: Insane TTM, Doctor No and mysel
were tinkering with our Commodore 64s. We had just begun figuring out all the
ins and outs of this amazing machine, but we were absolutely certain of one
thing: we needed to form a group. Why? Honestly, none of us really knew.
But after seeing cracked games with intro screens from cracking groups, we kne
we had to be part of that world.
So we started figuring out how "the scene" worked - although the term hadn't
been invented yet. There was no Internet, so it was a slow and meticulous
process, but the more we learned, the deeper we got involved. After a few
embarrassingly bad group names, we finally landed on Razor 1911 in
October 1985.
From that point on, it's fair to say Razor became our number one priority
for most of the next decade. Luckily many devoted new members shared our
vision and together we poured an absurd amount of time and energy into
making our mark on the scene and releasing the best possible products under
the Razor 1911 name.
Was it rational? Probably not. But it was an incredible time, filled with
countless experiences we still reminisce about today. It's unlikely any of us
founding members will return to "the scene" - there's a time and place for
everything, but we take pride in knowing that after we stepped away, so many
talented people kept the group alive and relevant. Razor 1911 has grown into
something far bigger than the sum of its members, and as founders we're proud
of everything that has been accomplished.
Here's to another 40 years! //Sector 9
That end credit scroll was wonderful, I love the callout to "all the lame crews" that they have forgotten about.

It turns out cybercrime is cool actually.
Always has been. Up until circa 2010.
