This crack intro from the Hungarian group Chromance is catalogued on CSDb as release #175119, simply titled "Chromance Intro" and dated 1995. Code is credited to Atomicro and music to SMC (Sanke Michael Choe) using his SID composition "A Merit Society," preserved in the HVSC. Doc Snyder's page confirms Atomicro as coder and SMC on music for this specific intro. The scrolltext announces a crack of "Morfix" from Imaic — a Slovakian game — trained and shortened by Mr. Wax. Chromance was founded in Hungary in 1990 under the tagline "Light in the Night" and became one of Eastern Europe's most prolific C64 groups. Their Hungarian base gave them unique access to Eastern European software originals that Western groups could not easily obtain. Other Chromance entries include the higher-ranked #117 C-05.
