There was a number of releases that were really impressive.
Of course, this is very subjective; some releases that really impressed me, may not be considered something special by someone else. Anyway, having asked the question, i may as well give an answer.

In no particular order, here are some releases i consider to be impressive. This list surely can expand, as i haven't kept an eye on releases, but it's a start. It's also not meant to either inflate, or deflate egos.

1. The emulator for Steinberg products, from team AIR, early 2010.
2. The first Winrar keygen, by FFF. In fact, there were a number of releases from FFF during the era, that were impressive.
3. The first crack for Denuvo, (by 3DM? )
