A crack intro from Byterapers Incorporated, a group whose origins and membership remain undocumented across all major scene archives. No individual credits for code, music, or graphics have been identified on any source consulted. The CSDb search returned no matching releases, and queries on Demozoo, Doc Snyder's page, the Atlantis Prophecy, and Freeze64 all came back empty. Despite this scarcity of metadata, the intro ranks at #143 -- the highest-placed of the group's three entries, above #482 B-01 and #525 B-09. Comments on intros.c64.org from Conrad, Hewitson, and Twoflower between 2007 and 2011 indicate sustained interest from scene archivists. The relatively strong ranking for an intro with zero surviving credits suggests distinctive visual or auditory qualities that resonate with voters regardless of the absent attribution data.
