CSDb catalogues this as the "Atlantis Intro (Mega Raster)," a 1994 production featuring raster bar effects — a staple visual technique of C64 crack intros. Dr. Zoom both coded the intro and composed the SID tune "Deep Town," preserved in the HVSC under his real name Tobias Erbsland. Hi-Top provided the graphics. Atlantis was a Swiss group founded on 1 February 1991 with the motto "Rising from the Ocean," and they maintained an active presence well into the 2020s — an extraordinary longevity for a C64 crew. Doc Snyder's page documents their extensive catalogue, which spans from early 1990s crack intros through modern cooperative releases with Genesis Project. Their other ranked intro in this collection is #502 atlantis-05. Dr. Zoom's dual role as both coder and musician was relatively uncommon in the scene, where these specialties were usually handled by different members.
