- Fantastic 4 Cracking Group — Italy, founded 1983
The third numbered crack intro from Fantastic 4 Cracking Group — an early entry in what would become one of the most extensive intro catalogues in C64 history. No individual credits for code, music, or graphics have been identified; the CSDb search returned no matching release for this specific intro. F4CG was founded in Italy in 1983 — the same year as the C64's European commercial launch — making them one of the oldest cracking groups on the platform. The low sequence number places this among the group's earliest productions, likely from the mid-to-late 1980s before contributors like Smasher, Kid, and JLD became prominent in their credits. As an Italian group, F4CG represented the dedicated Southern European scene in an era dominated by Scandinavian and German outfits. Other F4CG intros in this collection include #14 F4CG-32, #30 F4CG-08, #33 F4CG-20, and #105 F4CG-01.
