The Lightforce was a c64, Amiga and console cracking group, formed in late 1986 and based around the city of Saarbrücken, Germany. They had a homepage for a while, that contained no real information, and was "under construction" for the entire time it was up.
The december 1986 release of Tarzan Trainer listed Zar, Star, Insider and GSG-9 (Moc, PC Warrior and Lazy Man) as members.
The december 1987 cracks Psycho Soldier + and Deflektor listed Moc, Zar, Jaf, Eurosoft and Boomer as members.
Their Amiga section was formed in early 1988, making their first release with the release of Giana Sisters in march of that year.
