- Fantastic 4 Cracking Group — Italy, founded 1983
The fifty-ninth numbered intro from Fantastic 4 Cracking Group — deep into the Italian group's prolific catalogue. No individual credits for code, music, or graphics have been confirmed, though community discussion on intros.c64.org debated the origins of the charset. Rough suggested the character set came from a Hysteric intro, while Secret Man proposed it might be from a Beastie Boys or Bros production — indicating that charset reuse and trading was common practice across cracking groups. F4CG 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. Scene member TWR praised the intro simply as "Neat. Really neat." The high intro number demonstrates the group's relentless productivity during their peak years. Other F4CG intros in this collection include #14 F4CG-32 and #118 F4CG-63.
