The sole ranked intro from Trance, a German cracking group founded in 1992 under the short tag TCE. Released the same year the group was founded, this intro features code by Underdog, graphics by Mr.Mister, a custom charset by Morpheus, and music by Scarzix (Carsten Berggreen) — a SID tune titled "Rolling," preserved in the HVSC. The four-person credit list is notably complete for a group with minimal archival presence, suggesting a well-organised outfit despite their brief documented activity. Trance does not appear on Doc Snyder's page, Demozoo, or any of the other scene archives searched. Comments on intros.c64.org from Rough (2010) and Leeway (2007) confirm the intro was known to the preservation community. The group emerged during the C64 scene's later years, when German crews were still producing new intros even as the platform's commercial relevance had largely faded.
