- X-Ray — Germany, founded 1988
A silent X-Ray intro coded by Trigger with graphics from Jatagan — the same core team behind several other X-Ray productions. Released in July 1991, this arrived during X-Ray's peak activity period. Doc Snyder's page documents the scrolltext, which reveals the cracker Chrysagon handled the accompanying game crack. The visual presentation relies on Jatagan's artwork and a scrolltext — a clean, functional design without audio. X-Ray was a German group founded in 1988, operating under the tagline "Outta Schnapz!" This is one of two X-Ray entries in the rankings alongside #165 X-Ray-01. The consistent pairing of Trigger and Jatagan across multiple productions reflects the stable coder-graphician partnership that defined X-Ray's visual identity throughout their active years in the German scene.
