A joint crack intro from The Ruling Company and The Blasters Inc. — two groups whose cooperation is well documented on CSDb. The Ruling Company (group ID 878) was a Dutch cracker, demo, and import group founded in September 1988 by three former I.C.E. Squad members, active until 1997. The Blasters Inc. (group ID 186) was a Spanish group founded on 18 June 1988 by JR Predator, ACM, and BSR, who described themselves as "Number one in Spain." CSDb records confirm the TRC–TBI cooperation ran from 1990 to 1991, ending in September 1991 following the death of JR Predator — a rare and sombre event in scene history. TRC’s notable members included Action Jackson, CBA, and Trax, while TBI fielded Black Hole, AMD, and musician Narciso. The intros.c64.org listing generated an active comment thread with seven entries from scene members including iAN CooG of Hokuto Force, and a standalone TBI intro also appears at position #716.
