The Armageddon and Chromance Intro, released on 4 March 1993, is a cooperative crack intro combining the efforts of the American group Armageddon and the Hungarian group Chromance. The code is by Alex of Chromance, while the music -- "Broken Bottles" -- is by Deek, the prolific SID musician Richard Rinn. This transatlantic cooperation exemplifies the international reach of the C64 cracking scene in the early 1990s, with groups bridging the gap between European and North American distribution networks. Armageddon -- founded in 1991 in the United States -- also produced their own intros independently, including #262 Armageddon Intro #4. The partnership with Chromance, one of Hungary's longest-running scene groups, gave both outfits broader visibility across each other's trading circles.
