- The Sharks — Germany, founded 1987
The eleventh numbered crack intro from The Sharks, a prolific German group that operated from 1987 to 1995. CSDb (group ID 241) classifies them as a cracker group, demo group, import group, graphics group, hacker group, and fixing group — an unusually broad range of activities. Individual credits for code, music, or graphics on this particular intro could not be confirmed through available sources. The Sharks’ membership included Deadbeat as a long-serving coder and graphician, alongside crackers such as Magic Circle and Dark Force, and the multi-talented Ultimax who contributed code, graphics, and music. The group accumulated roughly 568 documented releases — placing them among the more productive German scene outfits of the era. They also developed the Sharks Intro Editor, a tool that saw numerous revisions and was used for constructing their intro screens. Other Sharks intros in this collection appear at positions #174, #309, and #956, reflecting the group’s extensive numbered intro series.
