Group
Legend — Belgium, founded May 1988

The ninth numbered intro from Legend — a Belgian cracking group founded in May 1988 who operated under the motto "Snapshot of the Future." Released on 12 February 1990, it was coded by Midas (Stephan Swertvaegher), who also contributed one of the three SID tunes alongside Drax and Antitrack — making Midas both programmer and musician. Drax's "Just Cool" and Antitrack's "Shadow of the Beast crackintro" round out the multi-tune selection. Legend is well represented in the rankings, with #30 Legend-17 placing in the top 30 and #219 Legend-15 among their other entries. Doc Snyder's page documents Legend's full intro catalogue, revealing a core team including Goldfish, Powerplant, Lyon, Midas, and Ziggy. Legend's scrolltexts adopted a distinctive pseudo-religious tone, invoking "the Will of God" as a recurring rhetorical motif. The group maintained transatlantic contacts, with BBS Optical Illusion serving as a distribution point in the United States.
