- Chromance — Hungary, founded 1990
This extra-short Chromance intro from May 1991 features a Hungarian flag motif designed by Alex, one of the group's core members who handled both coding and graphics across multiple productions. Chromance was a Hungarian cracking group founded in 1990 that became one of the most prolific crews from Eastern Europe, maintaining a steady output of releases well into the late 1990s. The intro's minimalist design — described on CSDb as "extra short" — reflects a practical approach to crack intros, prioritizing speed and efficiency over elaborate visual effects. Alex contributed graphics to several Chromance intros, including #428 c-06 and other productions documented on Doc Snyder's page. The scrolltext references greetings to numerous groups including F4CG, Onslaught, Fairlight, and Atlantis, illustrating Chromance's broad network across both European and American scenes. This intro sits among Chromance's extensive catalogue, which spans dozens of entries in the intros.c64.org archive.
