This crack intro from X-Ray — a German group founded in 1988 under the tagline "Outta Schnapz!" — dates to 1990 and is catalogued on CSDb as release #59405 under the title "X-Ray Intro." The code was written by The Excellenz, the charset by Excell, and the music credits include A-Man (Steven Diemer) with "Space Tiger (v2)" and Drax (Thomas Mogensen) with "Omonitarisulis" — indicating multiple selectable tunes. Doc Snyder's page confirms the code by The Excellenz, charset by Excell, and music by A-Man for this intro and maps it to CSDb release #59405. The scrolltext describes a crack of "Hawkstorm" from Players by "The Ignorance" of X-Ray, who taunts other groups for their inability to bypass the game's freeze protection. Greetings extend to Dominators, Genesis, Illusion, Transcom, Action, Ikari+Talent, Legend, Censor, Brainbombs, and Bonzai. This is one of five X-Ray intros documented on Doc Snyder's page.
