- Motiv 8 — Denmark, founded 8 January 1994
A three-SID jukebox intro from 1996, coded by Crossfire with graphics from SMD. The music selection spans three countries: Kristian Rostoken from Norway contributed "Babaland," MHD (Maciej Licbarski) from Poland provided "The End," and Taki (Balazs Takacs) from Hungary supplied "Save Me." All three SIDs are preserved in the HVSC. Motiv 8 was a Danish group founded on 8 January 1994, placing it firmly in the later era of C64 scene activity. Despite Denmark's small size, the country produced a disproportionate number of influential cracking groups — and Motiv 8 carried that tradition into the mid-1990s when many competitors had already disbanded. The international composition of the music credits reflects the borderless nature of the late-era scene, where geographic origin mattered less than shared commitment to the platform. Crossfire served as the group's primary coder for this production.
