- Fantastic 4 Cracking Group — Italy, founded 1983
The forty-ninth numbered intro from Fantastic 4 Cracking Group, coded jointly by Sneaper and Ray. On intros.c64.org, Sneaper confirmed both his and Ray's involvement in the coding. CenTraX noted a distinctive technical feature — the intro generated a random colour scheme at startup, meaning each load produced a different visual appearance. F4CG was founded in Italy in 1983 by Ricky and is documented on CSDb with over 1,600 releases spanning more than four decades of activity. The randomised palette was an unusual choice for a crack intro, where visual consistency typically reinforced group branding. No music or graphics credits have been identified. The collaboration between Sneaper and Ray represents one of several coding partnerships within F4CG's roster — a group large enough to support multiple active coders simultaneously. Other F4CG intros in this collection include #14 F4CG-32 and #54 F4CG-43.
