- Plutonium Crackers — Germany, founded 1982
A silent intro from one of the oldest German cracking groups — disassembly confirms no writes to SID registers. Plutonium Crackers was founded in Berlin in 1982 — contemporary with #1 Eagle Soft Incorporated and among the very first cracking operations on the C64. No coder is credited on CSDb. Released in 1987, this is the fourth numbered PC intro and came during the group's later period — by 1987 they had already been active for five years. Doc Snyder's page documents the group's extensive history. Plutonium Crackers would later rename themselves Antitrax 2010 and transition to Amiga demo production. Their Berlin base placed them at the heart of the German cracking scene alongside Berlin Cracking Service. The group's five-year tenure by 1987 made them veterans in a scene where most groups measured their lifespans in months rather than years.
