- Censor Design — Sweden, founded 28 June 1989
Censor Design would later become one of the most celebrated C64 demo groups in history — but they started as crackers, and this intro from September 1989 represents their early output. Psycho coded the intro while Markus Schneider (Diflex) contributed "Strike Force Introtune," preserved in the HVSC. Taito provided the charset — CSDb notes he was the younger brother of fellow scene member Sensei. Censor Design was founded in Sweden on 28 June 1989, making this intro barely two months old when the group was still finding its identity. Released on 6 September 1989, this arrived during the transition period when many groups were pivoting from pure cracking to demo production. Doc Snyder's page documents Censor Design's credits. The intro attracted 6 comments on intros.c64.org. Schneider/Diflex's compositions appear across multiple groups of the era — he was a prolific German musician whose work is extensively preserved in the HVSC.
