Happy Frog coded this intro for The Hunting Tigers, a German cracking group founded in 1987 and active until 1990. The SID music is Oliver Klaewer's "K.A.O.S.," preserved in the HVSC. THT was a sub-group of The Electronic Boys and operated primarily as a two-person cracking team — Happy Frog and Ork. CSDb documents 128 releases spanning 1987–1989, with this single intro design reused across over sixty different game cracks including Arkanoid: Revenge of Doh, Ikari Warriors, Platoon, and Tetris. The extensive reuse of one intro across such a large catalogue was common among mid-tier German groups who prioritized cracking output over intro variety. CSDb also flags The Hunting Tigers as "confirmed recrackers" — indicating they sometimes re-cracked software already broken by other groups rather than working exclusively from original protected media.
