Known on CSDb as the "Screaming Face" intro, this release from Fantasy dates to 23 November 1989 — just six months after the group's founding on 18 May 1989. Wanderer coded the intro, Excell provided the graphics, and Brandis — real name Peter Holsken — contributed the SID tune "Ski Dance," preserved in the HVSC. Fantasy was an American cracking group using the abbreviation FAN, and their scrolltexts reference a US-centric network of contacts. Doc Snyder's page documents two additional Fantasy intros: an earlier release coded by Mr. Neutron with artwork by The Punisher and music by Exos, and a later one coded by Kickback with music by Geir Tjelta (Predator). The group's first release dates to 25 May 1989, barely a week after formation. Wanderer also appears as the coder for Rampar intros, suggesting shared membership between these American crews.
