- Paragon -- Sweden, founded 1987
CSDb catalogues this as a Paragon intro. Disassembly confirms no writes to SID registers, establishing this as a silent scrolltext presentation. Paragon (abbreviated PRG) was a Swedish cracking group founded in 1987, registered on CSDb under group ID 576. The database lists at least thirteen Paragon-related entries including multiple intros, a decoder tool, meeting texts, and a one-file demo titled "Contact Paragon" -- indicating a group with varied output beyond pure cracking. No coder or graphic artist is individually credited on CSDb for this particular intro. This entry joins paragon-09 in the collection. Despite the CSDb documentation, Paragon left no trace on Doc Snyder's page, Demozoo, or other major archives. A CSDb entry titled "Nostalgia Intro (Paragon)" suggests ties to or influence from the group Nostalgia. The absence of individual credits is typical of smaller Swedish groups where a single member often handled all aspects of intro production.
