A Dutch crack intro coded by The Silver Surfer, with graphics from Sir and a two-SID soundtrack. Henning Rokling contributed "Illusion Crack Intro" — a tune originally composed for the Illusion group — and Magic Man (Stephan Schloepke) provided "Mamba (issue #15)," a piece referencing the diskmag. Both are preserved in the HVSC. Released in November 1990, two years after Manowar's founding in August 1988. The group's name references the American heavy metal band, a common source of inspiration for scene group names. Doc Snyder's page documents other Manowar intros, listing members including DSC, Muscle, and Hawk alongside The Silver Surfer. The scrolltexts reveal an active greeting network reaching Exodus, Dominators, Ikari+Talent, and other major groups. Manowar operated within the Netherlands' competitive scene, which included established groups like 1001 Crew and the Dutch-connected Beastie Boys members.
