Hysteric Crack Intro #03 -- catalogued on CSDb as "X-Out Intro" -- is a 1990 production from the German cracking group Hysteric, based in Hannover under the tagline "Hannover's #01." CSDb classifies it as "C64 Misc." rather than a standard crack intro. Psychobilly of Hysteric handled the linking, while the soundtrack draws from two sources: Michael Hendriks' "X-Out" game music and Stefan Hartwig's "X-Ample Intro Architect (tune 06)," both preserved in the HVSC. Doc Snyder's page confirms Stefan Hartwig's music credit for this intro. The scrolltext, signed by Psychobilly, praises the accompanying game as "the best game i've seen since the turrican preview" and sends greetings to Fear, Cocoon, Radius, Lazer, and others. A comment on intros.c64.org from "Skid Row / ex-Hysteric" confirms that members later moved to other groups. The release is preserved on CSDb as release #215572, verified through the Doc Snyder link.
