- Rampar — United States, founded 1988
An American intro with a three-person credit list — Player =1= coded, Bob Stevenson provided graphics, and One-Eyed Pirate designed the charset. No music is credited, making this a visual-only production. Rampar was a US group founded in 1988, and Doc Snyder's page preserves their motto: "We do it better than all the rest." Released on 1 December 1988, this arrived during a period when American C64 groups were outnumbered by European operations but maintained competitive output. Doc Snyder's page documents another Rampar intro — the "Forest Soldier" intro coded by Wanderer — with a 2025 comment from Wanderer himself recalling his artistic process. The scrolltext from that intro lists members as Kid Quick, Minotaur, Wanderer, and Player 1, and sends greetings to Ikari, TSM, and NFI. Bob Stevenson's presence as a credited graphic artist is notable — the name is shared with the co-creator of the Sensible Soccer series, though the connection is unconfirmed.
