Cracktro - In Full Effect by 'In Full Effect'

So what you'll see in this video is cracked game - whatever disc copy-protection was used has been removed and the files making up the game are all visible using a normal catalogue.
As there is no copy-protection any file copier could be used to make copies of the files and I've copied the files from the .DSK in drive B to the three inch drive A as a test.
This crack by 'In Full Effect' hasn't modified the game play and the only difference a player would notice is the 'IFE' screen displayed before the loading screen.

Chany's intro by 'Tom et Jerry'
This was for the game 'Jonny Quest' released by Hi-Tec Software in 1991.
For anyone unfamiliar with these Cracktros I would like to point out that it wasn't necessary to wait for them to complete before playing the game - pressing the spacebar at any time would normally load the game.
