Maybe Lucifer will fix it, he seems to have a lot of fixing credits and didn't have a clue how to code or fix. :D

In this interview from VN#46, ALiEN (ALN, ALN'61) of Plutonium Crackers 2001, claims it was Berlin Cracking Service in 1982 (8th question):

An excerpt from my Cracker's Map article:
Some people claimed that they first saw BCS and this intro in 1982 however it was in fact used much later. This was concluded when the picture was discovered to be in Paint Magic format which did not appear until 1983 (released by JEDI). It is true that BCS have been around in the very early days - no question - but they are not as magical as some would think, not only due to the intro-farcical, but also due to the recracks that took place. It is unconfirmed but it appears a hoax took place as "the intro" was only used on recracks. Some examples:
Pitfall II -> recrack of the OTD/Jedi Version (check $0812 - JEDI's depack routine), River Raid -> recrack of the Antiprotect version (just changed the sysline), Poster Paster -> recrack of the NOVA/Crackman Crew version (just changed the sysline and the in-game text) and The Heist -> recrack of the JEDI release (check depacker code at $0812 with OTD's version of H.E.R.O) |

I remember seeing this intro from ABC Crackings: Bear George
It's set as 1983 but I don't know if that is true since ABC Crackings is founded in 1984 apparently. |

That surely isn't true, the game was published in 1984. |

The first great intro IMHO is this one: ABC Crackings Intro

this is funny, last week Lemming showed me an old FIG demo that had some rasters. I asked since when rasters became a standard thing in demo's and intro's and suddenly I remembered Anti-ROM's Dutch raster flag "intro" so I went looking for it.
There appears to be a modded version from 83? (Lode Runner) and the first real one listed is from 84 (Valhalla), do those count as a real intro aswell since it's using those steady rasters which was very rare back then? |

The crack Lode Runner/Anti-Rom is very very probably from 1984 as well as US games took a while over the ocean back in the days. Some should upload a proper crack as the one in the db is a re-crack by some German lamer. |

Sure? GB says 1983, but they might be wrong of course.
And yes, the original AntiROM release of Lode Runner would be nice to have here! |
