- Hokuto Force — Italy
The third Hokuto Force intro in this batch — alongside HF-05 and HF-23. This particular intro generated active discussion on intros.c64.org, with five comments including exchanges between iAN CooG/HF (a core group member), Changeling/Abyss, and Twoflower in April 2009. The conversation between scene veterans suggests this intro held particular interest, possibly due to its visual or technical characteristics. No specific CSDb release match was identified, though Hokuto Force's extensive CSDb catalogue spans hundreds of entries. Founded in Italy, the group earned a reputation as one of the scene's premier preservation outfits, systematically re-releasing and fixing classic C64 software under their "To serve and preserve" motto. Doc Snyder's page documents their work with coders like Twilight, Wolf, and Domspitze creating new intro screens for these preservation releases.
