- Demonix — United States, founded January 1990
The seventh numbered intro from Demonix, an American group founded in January 1990 that operated as a demo group, import group, and fixing group. Demonix specialized in adapting European PAL releases for NTSC hardware — a critical function in the North American C64 scene where many European cracks would not run correctly without modification. The group's founding members — Swan Song, Taskmaster, and The Unholy — built a crew that remained active into the mid-1990s, unusually late for a C64 cracking operation. Comments on intros.c64.org from both The Unholy and Taskmaster confirm the intro's provenance. CSDb documents the group with over 40 crack intros, making Demonix one of the more prolific American groups in terms of intro production. As with Demonix #01, the group's visual identity was shaped by members like Cybernoid and collaborators including The Anarchist from The Wanderer Group USA.
