CSDb rates this 9.25/10 — a modern production from 2022 explicitly titled "Oldskool Intro by Arcade," paying homage to the crack intro aesthetic of the late 1980s with contemporary production values. Twilight coded the intro while zscs contributed the charset. Despite the high production quality, disassembly confirms no SID writes — this is a purely visual presentation. Arcade was originally founded on 23 April 1992, making this a 30-year anniversary production from a group that maintained activity across three decades. Like their earlier #39 Arcade 02 (rated 9.73), Arcade consistently achieves exceptional CSDb ratings. The "Oldskool" title is self-aware — acknowledging that in 2022, a C64 crack intro is a deliberate artistic choice rather than a functional necessity. The high rating confirms the modern C64 community's appetite for new productions that honour the platform's heritage.
