- Warriors of the Wasteland — Belgium, founded 1986
Another crack intro from Warriors of the Wasteland (WOW), the Belgian group founded in 1986 by Le Sollitaire and Scorpie. Doc Snyder's page catalogues this as "Crack Intro #02" — sharing the same Ispace code and artwork, and EVS (Edwin van Santen) music titled "Edwin's Dreeam" (sic). CSDb lists WOW as a demo group, cracking group, and import group based in Belgium, with over 1,100 documented releases spanning nearly four decades. Key members across the group's history include Einstein, Stormlord, xIII, Vinzz, Topic, and Rank 01. The scrolltext names Jones as the cracker, who handled "Head the Ball" by Hewson. WOW maintained cooperations with Intruders and Rush Division. The group's greetings reference Dynamix, Abstract, Censor, Fairlight, X-Factor, F4CG, Transcom, and others — a broad cross-section of European scene elite. Other WOW entries in this collection include #392 WOW 03.
