- Abyss — United States
Another intro from Abyss, the American cracking group whose best-known entry sits at #19 Abyss-05. The CSDb search for "Abyss" returns 45 results, demonstrating the group's extensive presence in the database — multiple intros, logos, and connection screens are catalogued under group ID #1530. Doc Snyder's page documents the group as a US operation (abbreviation ABS) with Raster Blaster credited for code, artwork, and cracking on their first intro, using Matt Gray's "Professional BMX Simulator" as ripped music. No individual credits have been identified for this particular release. A comment from Rough in September 2010 appears on the intros.c64.org page. This is one of seven ranked Abyss entries, alongside #52 Abyss-02, #108 Abyss-07, #130 Abyss-08, and #236 Abyss-01. The group's tagline — "we go beyond perfection" — captures the ambition of late-1980s American crackers.
