Released on 30 January 1992, this joint Legend and NEI crack intro is catalogued on CSDb as release #33473 under the name "NEI + Legend Intro." Dave handled the code, Skywolf created the graphics, and Iron Cat — Alain Hertenstein — composed the SID tune "For Legend 2," which is preserved in the HVSC. The charset artist is uncredited by name on CSDb. Doc Snyder's page lists it under both Legend and NEI's catalogues, confirming the cooperation between the two groups. Legend was a Belgian cracking group founded in May 1988, known for their confrontational scrolltexts and self-proclaimed identity as "the will of god." The scrolltext sends greetings to Censor, Talent, F4CG, Chromance, and TSM, while promoting their BBSes Second to None and South of Heaven. This collaboration with North East Importers reflects the transatlantic partnerships common in the early 1990s scene, where European crackers and American importers regularly joined forces.
