What it is

CRAIC is a studio that runs in your browser. Pick effects from its library, layer them, set the text, logos and colours, and arrange them on a timeline into an intro of your own.

The library holds more than 1,300 effects and 1,600 ready-made presets in over 300 families.

Where the effects come from

Most are recreations of real productions from the Amiga cracking scene: crack intros, trainer menus and demos by groups such as Skid Row, Paradox, Razor 1911, Fairlight, Angels, LSD and Vision Factory.

Where the original 68000 source code survives, the intro is assembled again, run in an emulator and rebuilt for the browser until the frames match pixel for pixel. Others are reversed from the released program or traced from video.

On the ring

The boxes around the logo carry screenshots of 48 of those intros. Choose one to see it larger.

The screenshots are emulator captures of the original intros, which remain the work of the groups that made them.
