    That end credit scroll was wonderful, I love the callout to "all the lame crews" that they have forgotten about.

      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.

      p.s. Some interesting info from the nfo file:

       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
