- Chromance — Hungary, founded 1990
This Chromance intro — catalogued on intros.c64.org but lacking individual credits — represents one of the many productions from Hungary's most prolific C64 cracking group. Chromance was founded in 1990, evolving from FBI Crew, and adopted its name from a portmanteau of "CH" (Switzerland) and "Romance," inspired by an earlier demo project. The group operated under the tagline "Light in the Night" and produced over 1,100 releases spanning cracks, demos, intros, and diskmags. Doc Snyder's page documents multiple Chromance intros with credited coders including Jaydee, Alex, Druid, Slator, and Atomicro — indicating a deep roster of programmers. Musicians contributing to various Chromance intros include The Syndrom, OMP (Ole Marius Pettersen), Sage (Dariusz Paliga), JCH (Jens-Christian Huus), and SMC. The group's sustained output through the mid-to-late 1990s made them one of the most enduring Eastern European scene collectives on the platform.
