This Pandora crack intro from 1992 is catalogued on CSDb as release #187655 under the name "Pandora Intro." Mike is credited with the graphics, while the coder is listed on CSDb but left unnamed. The music is Jeroen Soede's "Filter Mania," preserved in the HVSC — a composition by the Dutch musician associated with Soedesoft. Doc Snyder's page lists it as Pandora Crack Intro #01, crediting Mike for both code and artwork and confirming the Jeroen Soede music credit. The scrolltext reveals the cracked game was imported and NTSC/PAL-fixed by Empire and originally supplied by Attraction, documenting the cooperative supply chains through which cracks moved between European groups. Greetings go to Empire, TSM, Pudwerx, Legend, Talent, Illusion, Dominators, and Sky — placing Pandora within the German-centred cracking network of the early 1990s. Doc Snyder's page documents two other Pandora intros with Shoot! as coder and music from DOS (Andor Cseh) and Chotaire.
