  A New Life (1994, 03.07, ECS Intro).
  code: Excelsior, Telectronic, gfx: Chrombacher, music: "only_space2" by
  Destructor (MOD format).

 Virtual Conspiracy 95 Invitation Intro (1995, 01.04, 40k Intro).
  code: Krustur, Morot, gfx: Sun, Chrombacher (font), music: Destructor.
  Released for the Virtual Conspiracy 95 40k intro compo, but unplaced.
  review: To the tones of the very c64-like chiptune, the intro starts
  nicely with a stretching zoomrotator. It goes on to a *LOT* of dots
  travelling around the screen in some shapes...and that's it. It goes no
  further than that, just keeps on showing off those dots. Unbelievably
  limited, unfortunately, since what's there is quite competent. [glenn]
  GLE tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 16mb fast/3.0.

members - Action Man (supply), Scott (sysop), Mr.E (crack) - left to form
Genesis with Infiltrator and N.O.M.A.D from Scoopex in september of that
year. Later also I.B.M (crack) found his way to this group. Vertigo joined

Boards; THE OUTER LIMITS WHQ (usa, 05/92).

  Memtro (1992, .05, ECS Intro).
  code: Caddie, gfx: n/a, music: n/a.
  review: A totally unnecessary intro, really, with little to recommend it
  in the audiovisual stakes. That logo is a catastrophe. It's not that this
  is necessarily a BAD intro, it's just so... terribly run-of-the-mill.
    The intro announces new member Sali-Aderlat. There is no release date
  quoted inside the intro itself, the date above
  is an estimation based on the date of the other productions on the pack
  where it was found. Featured on Axis' "Femur Bundle #81" [05/92] pack.
