Zyron (Johan Astrand) — "Never Forget" (original)
Group
Antic — Sweden, founded 1990

A Swedish production from December 1992, coded by Zyron — the same Johan Astrand who would later contribute extensively to Genesis Project, including their crack intros and demos. Zyron handled both the code and the music, composing "Never Forget," preserved in the HVSC. Andre provided the graphics. Antic was founded in 1990 in Sweden, placing them in the later wave of Scandinavian C64 groups that emerged as the platform was already transitioning toward its revival phase. That Zyron both coded and composed the music demonstrates the multidisciplinary talent common in smaller groups where members wore multiple hats. The intro drew attention in the intros.c64.org community, with a comment from an Antic member — Incubus — posted in 2005. Antic's CSDb group page lists the short abbreviation simply as "A," an unusually minimalist tag for a cracking group.
