The first numbered intro from Red Sector Incorporated, the Canadian group that would later become legendary on the Amiga. Released in October 1987, the intro was coded by The Omega Man and uses Rob Hubbard's "Zoids" — one of the most famous SID compositions ever written. Ripping Hubbard's music was a common practice in 1987, when his game soundtracks were the gold standard of C64 audio. RSI was founded in 1985, making this intro a product of their second year. The group's evolution from C64 crackers to celebrated Amiga demo coders — eventually becoming Renaissance — represents one of the scene's most successful platform transitions. Their other ranked entry, #167 RSI-09, dates from their later C64 period. The Omega Man's involvement in RSI's earliest intro connects the group's origins directly to the mid-1980s North American cracking scene, when Canadian and American groups were still major players in the global C64 community.
