- D.S. Compware — Germany, founded 1986
An early intro from D.S. Compware, a German group founded in 1986. CSDb catalogues this release from December 1986 but lists no individual credits for code, graphics, or music. D.S. Compware — abbreviated DSC — appears in the scrolltexts of other groups from the period, including Hotline's intros documented on Doc Snyder's page, where they are greeted alongside other mid-1980s contacts. The December 1986 date places this intro in the earliest wave of organized C64 cracking, before the elaborate multi-effect intros of 1988 and beyond became standard. German groups were particularly numerous during this era, and D.S. Compware operated alongside contemporaries such as Crest, X-Ray, and various other domestic outfits. No data was found on Demozoo, Pouet, or other scene archives beyond CSDb, suggesting the group had a relatively limited output or operated primarily within regional distribution networks.
