- Fantastic 4 Cracking Group — Italy, founded 1983
F4CG's forty-fourth numbered crack intro, frequently compared by commenters to the work of Fairlight — CenTraX on intros.c64.org remarked "FLT style?" and staff member iAN CooG described it as "clearly a rip of flt-04 or similar." Whether the intro was a deliberate homage, a stylistic rip, or simply shared visual conventions remains debated. Fantastic 4 Cracking Group was founded in Italy in 1983 by Ricky and is documented on CSDb with over 1,600 releases, making them one of the most long-lived groups on the Commodore 64. No individual credits for code, music, or graphics have been confirmed for this production. The Fairlight comparison is revealing — FLT was among the most respected Swedish cracking groups, and emulating their intro style could be read as a mark of aspiration. Other F4CG intros in this collection include the adjacent #54 F4CG-43 and #421 F4CG-42.
