A crack intro from Agile — a Swedish group founded in March 1988, making this 21 June 1988 release one of their earliest productions, arriving just three months after the group's formation. Trinity handled the code, Banshee provided the graphics, and Jeroen Tel — one of the C64's most celebrated SID composers — contributed "Bantam" as the soundtrack. Tel's involvement lent immediate credibility to a young group; his compositions appeared in intros and games across the entire C64 scene. CSDb lists this alongside an "Intro Designer V1.0" download, suggesting the intro may have been created using a construction kit — a common practice that allowed groups to produce polished-looking intros without extensive custom coding. Agile operated during the peak of the Swedish C64 cracking scene, which produced numerous internationally competitive groups. The intro's preservation on both intros.c64.org and CSDb ensures its continued accessibility.
