- Fantastic 4 Cracking Group — Italy, founded 1983
The forty-seventh numbered intro from Fantastic 4 Cracking Group, coded by Ze Smasher. On intros.c64.org, Ze Smasher confirmed authorship and described it as "a very short intro." Fellow F4CG member Zyron praised it — "And a nice one it is!" — while Hades offered a more blunt assessment: "Not really nice, but short!!!" The brevity was likely intentional, as compact intros loaded faster and consumed less disk space on cracked releases. F4CG was founded in Italy in 1983 by Ricky and is documented on CSDb with over 1,600 releases. Ze Smasher was one of the group's most prolific contributors, also coding #392 F4CG-31, #54 F4CG-43, and #249 F4CG-55. No music or graphics credits have been identified for this production. The mixed reception reflects the trade-off between minimalism and visual impact that crack intro designers navigated.
