An Acrise intro from March 1992, coded by Artlace with graphics by Beetlejuice and music from T.L.F. (Chris Lightfoot). The SID tune "Stormchord" is preserved in the HVSC. Acrise was a German cracking group founded in May 1991 under the tagline "Cooler Than Ice." Doc Snyder's page documents their extensive catalogue, showing Artlace and Beetlejuice as recurring contributors alongside coders Mac Systems and Crazy Igor. The scrolltext for this intro reveals the crack was performed by Crossfire of Acrise, with board numbers in Canada and the Netherlands suggesting an international distribution network. Acrise maintained close ties with Excess — Doc Snyder documents a joint Excess+Acrise intro with code by RHX. Their greetings lists reference Demonix, Storm, Empire, Onslaught, Alpha Flight, Atlantis, F4CG, and other mid-1990s groups. The group also appears in scrolltexts from Success and other German contemporaries, confirming their standing within the domestic scene.
