this would have been ok for most of the amiga groups, but please remember: Quartex was so dominant back then, this cracktro just doesn’t do justice to their reputation.
This was supposed to be some Quartex rebuild after original Quartex threw in the towel. All the guys are from Italy which is really strange, since Italy never had a big cracking scene (the only groups from Italy I know of are F4CG and Hokuto force).
They are the colors of the Italian flag since this seems to be done exclusively by Italians.
