CSDb catalogues this as the "Chromance (extra short) Intro ALEX-08" — a February 1991 production coded by Alex with no music credits, suggesting a deliberately compact design. The "extra short" designation indicates this was a minimal-footprint intro intended to conserve disk space for the accompanying crack. Alex appears across multiple Chromance intros documented on Doc Snyder's page, where he served as both coder and graphician. Chromance was a Hungarian group founded in 1990 under the tagline "Light in the Night," and this intro arrived during their first full year of operation. The scrolltext references a crack of "Lucky Egg" with NTSC fixing, training, and shortening by Jaydee, and sends greetings to Empire, SCS+TRC, Avantgarde, F4CG, Fairlight, and other major groups. Chromance built one of the largest intro catalogues in the collection, with other entries including #47 C-25 and #117 C-05.
