CASTOR CRACKING GROUP

'Castor Cracking Group' ('CCG') was a demo group from Sweden, and were active on the ZX Spectrum during 1986-88. They were one of the first groups for the ZX Spectrum with their release of ''Castor Intro'' early in 1986.^[1]
Originially they named themselves after Castor in the constellation Gemini, but despite having "Crack" in their name, they actually (at least according to themselves) never cracked any software.¹
Technically, their demos were not very advanced - they even programmed many of them in BASIC and compiled the result for release.¹ However, their significance lies in their early entry onto the scene.
