This crack intro, released on 1 April 1992, is credited to The Shaolin Monastery but is catalogued on CSDb under the group Enigma — a German group founded in May 1991. This dual attribution suggests a close relationship between TSM and Enigma, possibly a merger or shared membership. The code is by Trigger, graphics by Jatagan, and the SID music is "Quedex Tune" by Link — real name Klaus Grongaard — preserved in the HVSC. Both Trigger and Jatagan also appear as contributors to X-Ray intros on Doc Snyder's page, indicating overlapping membership between the German cracking groups. TSM is well represented in this collection with entries including #129 TSM Intro #1, #109 TSM Intro #2, and #338 TSM Intro #9. TSM maintained connections with American scene contacts, as referenced in X-Ray scrolltexts.
