The fourteenth intro from the joint alliance of Success and The Ruling Company — commonly abbreviated SCS+TRC. CSDb titles this the "No Design Intro," a self-deprecating label suggesting a deliberately minimalist visual approach. Released in September 1996, the code is by Baldhead, graphics by Shaggy, and the music uses Echo's "Katakis" — a Kay Tichelmann composition preserved in the HVSC and named after the Rainbow Arts shoot-em-up. CSDb associates this release with Fatum, a Polish group, though the intro bears the SCS+TRC branding. An earlier joint intro appears at #374 SCS_TRC-12. The SCS+TRC partnership was one of the C64 scene's most productive cracking alliances, combining the German Success crew with the Dutch Ruling Company. Their shared website at scs-trc.net documents the collaboration's longevity. The self-aware "No Design" subtitle hints at the practical realities of maintaining a steady release pace.
