Chromance Crack Intro #08 is a 1995 release from the Hungarian cracking group Chromance, preserved on CSDb as release #249996. The intro was coded by Lion, with graphics by Red Lord and music contributions from Gaston, The Syndrom, and Scarlet. Doc Snyder credits the artwork to Mermaid (Vanja Utne) and the music to The Syndrom (Matthias Hartung), with the SID track "Roll Over" featured alongside Scarlet's "Country" -- both preserved in the High Voltage SID Collection. The scrolltext announces a crack of "Lucky Egg +fix" from Artgame, supplied by Mr.Wax, with NTSC fixing, level-squeezing, training, shortening, and bug-fixing by Jaydee. Greetings are directed at DMX, 9th Hell, Empire, Storm, Ultimate Hacker, TRC+SCS, Avantgarde, Motiv8, Alpha Flight, Onslaught, Dytec, Hardcore, Hit, F4CG, Atlantis, Excess, and Fairlight. Chromance -- founded in 1990 under the tagline "Light in the Night" -- was one of the most prolific Eastern European C64 cracking groups.
