CSDb catalogues this as the "TRD Intro," a 1994 production released under the Tristar+Red Sector Inc+Dytec (TRD) alliance. Proton coded the intro, Joop handled the design, Little Big Man provided the charset, and EVS (Edwin van Santen) contributed "Hardcore Power" as the soundtrack, preserved in the HVSC. Van Santen was a Dutch musician active under the 20CC group umbrella whose SID work appears across multiple groups' intros. The TRD merger brought together three established crews: Tristar and Red Sector Inc — both legendary Amiga and C64 groups — with Dytec, a German group founded in 1990. Such multi-group alliances were common in the early-to-mid 1990s as the scene consolidated. CSDb lists this release under the Dytec group ID, suggesting Dytec members primarily produced this particular intro within the larger alliance.
