This joint crack intro from Arcade and Deadline is catalogued on CSDb as release #73884, dated 29 May 1992. CSDb credits Telemachus for graphics, with two SID tunes — "For Paradize" by Deek (Richard Rinn) and "Thanatos" by Rob Hubbard — both preserved in the HVSC. The coder is not individually named on CSDb. Doc Snyder's archive lists this as Arcade's first crack intro, crediting Telemachus for both code and artwork with Hubbard's "Thanatos" as the soundtrack. Arcade was founded on 23 April 1992 in Germany under the motto "We Are Perfect," making this joint intro one of the group's earliest releases. The scrolltext announces a crack of "DJ Puff's Volcanic Capers" from Codemasters by Derbyshire Ram, cracked on 24 June 1992, with greetings spanning Accuracy, Active, Fairlight, F4CG, Crest, Hitmen, and many others.
