- The Dominators — Denmark, founded 1986
Released 24 October 1989, this Dominators intro was coded by Mitch with music from Laxity — the prolific SID musician from Starion and The Flexible Arts. Laxity's "Public Enemy" provided the soundtrack, while Map of World Wide Expressive contributed the graphics. The appearance of Laxity's music in a Dominators production underscores how top SID composers supplied material to multiple groups simultaneously — Laxity's tunes appear in intros from Doughnut Cracking Service, Ikari, and many others. Mitch was one of several Dominators coders alongside Animal, Jade, and Drake, reflecting the group's deep bench of programming talent. Comments on intros.c64.org from Tricket of DOM and members of Paramount and The Wanderer Group show cross-group engagement with the archived production. The Dominators were founded in Denmark in 1986 and operated until August 1993, with CSDb documenting over 1,100 releases.
