- The Wanderer Group + Pentacle — Germany
This joint intro represents a collaboration between two German groups — The Wanderer Group and Pentacle. TWG was founded in 1987 by Rubberduck and Speedcracker and dissolved in 1989, while Pentacle was founded by Dueco and also operated as a German cracking crew. The partnership was natural given their shared national scene and overlapping active periods. Pentacle's members included Dueco as coder and cracker, Gremlin as coder and cracker, and Rial as cracker and swapper. A standalone Pentacle intro also appears in this collection at Pentacle-01. TWG appears multiple times as well, with TWG-02 and TWG-09 showcasing the group's independent output. Joint releases between German groups were common during 1987–1988, as cooperating crews could pool cracking talent and distribution networks. The German scene's density of groups during this period meant that alliances shifted frequently, with partnerships forming and dissolving alongside the groups themselves.
