- The Movers + The Strike Force — Germany
A joint intro between The Movers and The Strike Force — two German groups pooling resources for a combined release. CSDb catalogues this as the "Strike Force & The Movers Intro," released on 7 April 1988. Ward Selles contributed the music — a SID tune titled "Jippie," preserved in the HVSC. Skylab provided the graphics. No coder is credited. The Strike Force was founded in September 1987 in Germany. This collaboration mirrors the existing M_SF-02 joint production, where General Zoff coded for the same pairing. German cracking in 1987-1988 was characterized by frequent alliances between smaller groups — partnerships that boosted distribution reach and shared the workload of cracking, training, and intro production. The intros.c64.org listing includes a 2004 comment. By April 1988 the German scene was maturing rapidly, and joint releases demonstrated the cooperative networks that underpinned the cracking ecosystem.
