- ARM — Italy
The sole ranked intro from ARM, an Italian cracking group. Two coders share credit — Odyn and Ex-m — with no listed music or graphics contributors, suggesting a lean production focused on code rather than audiovisual presentation. CSDb records no SID files associated with this release. Released in July 1991, this intro dates from the period when Italian scene activity was growing as a distinct regional force. ARM's founding date is not recorded on CSDb, but the group is confirmed as Italian. Demozoo catalogues the release as "ARM Intro (1)" and cross-references it to both CSDb and Pouet entries. The dual-coder credit is relatively unusual — most intros of this era list a single programmer. Without music or graphician credits, the intro likely relied on minimal visual elements or ripped content. ARM left little trace in scene publications — the Hugi search results for "arm" returned only false positives unrelated to this group.
