Quartex was an Amiga cracking group originally, formed in the summer of 1988. They branched out onto the handheld console scene in the early 2000's, and released for at least GBC and GBA.

Cracker Journal 16 (october 1989) reported, "Quartex chiefs in the USA were caught by the police."

In july 1991, members were Olivier, The Surge, Waremonger, Spirit, Magnetic, Jester, Beast, Alliance Design, TIC, Blackburst, Speedy Dennis, ADS, Predator, Red Rocks, Clash, Flex, Tom-Cat, Face The Facts, Acid, Xtc, Shark, Bigfoot, Skyline and Trackmaster.¹ Skywalker joined Skid Row around the middle of 1991. The group was dealt a major blow in november, when important members like N.O.M.A.D, Action Man, Zelnik, Infiltrator (all ex Crystal), The Surge and TIC (both ex Paradox) left to form a new group called Nemesis. Late this year, Furax joined Paradise and opened the bbs Fantasia, Spirit left the scene and Black Ninja (sysop of Paradise City) joined Skid Row. The French section split up late in the year, after experiencing some problems with the APP (french software police). Tagada and Clash were both busted by the French police, and Olivier closed his board Olivier's Place.

In april 1992 members of the Italian section were Hellfire, Macro, Bruce Lee, Top, Caesar, Mr. Andy and Rik.²

The group was active making releases for the Sega Megadrive/Genesis at least in 1994.

In march 1995 members were Abrasax, BamBam, Bigfoot, Conqueror, Black Ninja, Dirty Harry, Elvin, Genius, Hoffi, Kriss, M.E., Ministry, RIB Nurren, QTX, Rabbit, RamRaider, Bor, Sabbath, Sandman, Speedy Dennis, The Undertaker and WareMonger across the Amiga and console sections.³

Xtreme Racing in January 1996 listed Abrasax, ADS, Black Ninja, Conqueror, Deature, Dream1, Elric, Elvin, Fate, Fletcher, Hoffi, Hot Tuna, Pharaoh, Pitch Princip, QTX, Rabbit, Ramraider, Rebel, Bor, Sabbath, TCB, The Undertaker, Tunes, Waremonger and Yeko as only members of Amiga and Console divisions.
