- Chromance -- Hungary, founded October 1990
A Chromance intro for which the CSDb release match points to a Graffity graphics release featuring music by Andy (Adam Davidovics) and graphics by Double Design, rather than this specific crack intro. Chromance and Graffity were both Hungarian groups with close ties -- the shared CSDb group ecosystem reflects Hungary's tight-knit scene community. Comments on intros.c64.org include one from Alex/Chromance himself (2017), the prolific intro coder responsible for many of the group's numbered productions. Alex is credited on CSDb and Doc Snyder's page for multiple Chromance intros, handling both code and -- in some cases -- graphics. Doc Snyder's page documents the full Chromance coder roster: Alex, Druid, Slator, Atomicro, Jaydee, and Lion, alongside musicians JCH, OMP, Sage, SMC, Jeff, Froyd, and The Syndrom. The group's tagline "Light in the Night" reflected their outsized role in the Hungarian scene. Other ranked entries include #420 C-16 and #752 C-26. Hungary's scene emerged after the 1989 political changes opened access to Western software distribution networks.
