Top 50 Greatest Amiga Cracktros - Awesome Amiga Crack Intro Music Mix

This is my Top 50 Greatest Amiga Cracktro Music - The Swedish Wargoat Best Of List of Awesome Amiga Crack Intro Music.
A cracktro is a small introduction sequence added to cracked software, in this case the Amiga. It aims to inform the user which cracking crew or individual cracker removed the software's copy protection and distributed the crack and made the cracktro. Some of the music to these crack intros, aka cracktros, are fantastic gaming music which any retro nerd most likely would enjoy. I have compiled my favorites in this top 50 greatest Amiga Cracktro mix.

[@loommoon2301]

Don't worry mate I feel exactly the same, it's like when your you're young you feel like you have an eternity ahed of you, but you don't actually realise how short the time you have is. This music takes me back.

[@Realmasterorder]

The Amiga was (and still is)Such an incredible Home computer that even the intros were EPIC !

[@zuno555]

Most amazing thing for me at the time was how instantly these cracktros loaded. Disk popped in and bam, cracktro playing!

[@TheDarkInstall]

Yeah, I always marvelled at the same thing. Absolutely INSTANT loading. How the hell did they do it?

[@cosanostra101]

Chillz down my spine

[@paul1979uk2000]

To be fair, most of these demos were only a few kb in size and I think the Amiga could load around 10-20kb per second, hence why it loaded up pretty much as soon as you put the disk in. In fact it could have been even quicker because most demos were highly compressed and the Amiga had to decompress them which added a slight delay.

[@TheSnowwraith]

It's my guess that most of the coders cut their teeth writing demos for the C64 and were used to creating incredibly compact code. When I started coding on a Sinclair ZX80 I had a massive 1kb to play with. You had to be creative!

I love the memories, I didn’t even want to play the games - I wanted to see the intro…. I always thought to myself 35 years ago, these fuckers should be making the software - they are so much more ahead of these other programmers. I hated when the day I had to shut my bbs down because of issues with fraudulent cards…….. Centrum bbs will live on in many hearts, I’ll always remember the AMIGA and hold it near and dear, thank all of you for making it so precious ❤️

[@elecovanrenss1352]

i remember those times with the fraudulent calling cards. i thought it were sprint cards. in europe they used those to login on bbs in the USA for free. the biggest problem was because some people started to selling them and then the FBI actually caught a guy from a huge group. but it was a lot of fun. specially calling pizzahut in the states and ask them to deliver a pizza to europe :)

As a big fan of intros I have to admit that I prefer the C64 Intros because of the unique sound of the sid chip. The Amiga was so superior in graphics and other aspects, but the sound is a little to clean IMHO. Nevertheless both computer where unmatched in the 80s, what a great time.
