This crack intro from the Hungarian group Chromance is catalogued on CSDb as release #193922, simply titled "Chromance Intro" and dated 1993. Code is credited to Slator, with music by the Danish master JCH (Jens-Christian Huus) using his SID composition "Birthday," preserved in the HVSC. Doc Snyder's page confirms Slator as coder and JCH on music for this specific intro. The scrolltext announces a crack of "Space Knight" from Novotrade, Hungary — cracked, trained, and even translated from Hungarian to English by Jazzy D, with the original supplied by Alex. Greetings extend to Empire, NEI, TSM, Legend, Arcade, Talent, Enigma, Success, Red Sector Inc., F4CG, Genesis, Pandora, TRC, Censor, and Dominators. Ranked 117th overall, this is one of Chromance's higher-placed entries, alongside #672 C-04. Chromance's access to Hungarian originals gave them unique material in the cracking scene.
