First intro ever?
What is the very first intro ever released? |

that raises the question "what exactly qualifies as an intro?"
besides that, Berlin Cracking Service claim BCS Intro was the first intro - which is a bit dubious however (see the entry). |

Wouldn't an intro be a program that can be extracted and also work standalone?
Changing of texts within a game can not really be called an intro if you are referring to that, Groepaz!? :) |

To my knowledge, the first intros are something like: BERT intro, and GCS with 3 moving sprites. before these came, there was just a textscreen or nothing. for example i had 200+ games that just said "sys 2065 ABC" in the basic line, before i even saw an "intro".

but what about a simple text screen that comes before the game? tricky, imho :) |

I know you're talking 64, but first intros at all were used on Apple II. |

The first intro is the GCS intro with the german coloured sprites.
The intro from Danish Crackers with the scroll should be the first EOR'ed intro |

Some years ago Skylab and I was
talking about this question of what intro really was the
first ever used on a C64. He talked with several of the old
sceners active from 83-84 all were pointing to the same intro.
He asked me to get hold of the first cracker of Denmark and
ask him about it. That is ofcos PMK (later known as The Wizard / Danish Crackers).
PMK said it was the German Cracking Service intro with the three sprites "GCS".
Which were the same answer as Skylab
had got confirmed from other old crackers. I guess it is
pretty safe to conclude that it is correct - validated from
different sources as they all pointed to the same intro.
The first Danish intro was - no suprise - made by PMK who
was inspired by the GCS intro shortly after.
* and by intro is meant a graphical intro - not just a blank screen with some text.
