- Occult -- United States
A crack intro from Occult, a United States-based group distinguished by the "(US)" suffix in the intros.c64.org catalogue to differentiate it from any European namesakes. The CSDb search returned no relevant matches, and Doc Snyder's page, Demozoo, and other archives are similarly empty. No individual credits for code, graphics, or music are confirmed. The intro's comment thread on intros.c64.org features notable sceners including iAN CooG, Sir Garbagetruck, Mason, and Pan, with discussion spanning 2009--2017 -- an unusually active thread for an otherwise undocumented group, suggesting the intro itself provoked interest or debate among archivists. The need to append a country qualifier suggests the handle "Occult" was used by multiple unrelated groups across different regions -- a common problem in a scene where group names were chosen independently and collisions were frequent. Despite the lack of archival documentation, the intro placed in the top 290, indicating the production made a strong impression on voters regardless of the group's obscurity.
