- Slaves of Keyboard — Poland, dissolved 1991
Doc Snyder’s Page catalogues this as Crack Intro #02 from Slaves of Keyboard, a Polish cracking and importing group whose motto was "The Power of Chain." Mosquito — who joined SOK in April 1990 according to CSDb — handled both the code and the artwork for this silent intro. The scrolltext reveals that it accompanied a crack of "Legend of Kage" by Storm of Extend, with Kruger of SOK linking the release. CSDb (group ID 2121) documents that SOK dissolved in 1991 when the group merged with Deuter and Cruel Soldiers to form Asphyxia. The greetings list names dozens of groups including Adroit, Crest, Fairlight, HTL, Triad, and X-Rated — reflecting SOK’s connections across the European trading network. A separate SOK intro appears in this collection at position #680, featuring different personnel and visual style. Mosquito’s dual role as coder and graphician kept the production compact — a one-person effort typical of smaller Eastern European groups.
