- Crusade — Switzerland, founded November 1990
This Crusade intro features "Tripler Tune 3" by Maduplec (Martin Arentoft), as documented on Doc Snyder's page. Crusade was a Swiss cracking and import group founded in November 1990, built from the ashes of Abstract and Future Concepts. The scrolltext preserved on Doc Snyder's page describes cracking the American version of Crackdown — "+7 trained and iffl packed in the states by horizon and brought to europe by sexton on november, 15th 1990" — providing a precise date and documenting the transatlantic supply chain typical of late-era C64 cracking. Sexton, the group's founder, also handled importing duties. Crusade's greetings list includes major contemporaries — NEC/NEI, Random, Demonix, Legend, Genesis, F4CG, Illusion, Dominators, Censor, and Ikari — placing them within the top tier of the 1990–1991 scene. The group dissolved in 1991 after a brief but active existence. Maduplec was a Danish musician whose SID compositions circulated through multiple Scandinavian and continental groups.
