A joint production between Vision and Genetix — two British groups collaborating on a crack intro released in December 1992. Ray coded the intro while Wave contributed the graphics. The soundtrack is exceptionally generous, featuring four ripped SID tunes from four different composers: Zeus's "Acid," Red's "Red Mokiz," Shogun's "Wet Cat," and Laxity's "Wow Intro" — all preserved in the HVSC. This multi-tune approach was a hallmark of later-era intros that offered selectable music. Genetix was a UK-based group; their CSDb entry lists no founding date. The cooperation between Vision and Genetix reflects the common practice of joint releases, where groups pooled talent for higher-quality output. Laxity (Thomas E. Petersen) was one of the most prolific SID composers in the scene, and his tunes appeared in intros from dozens of different groups. The four-musician, two-artist lineup makes this one of the more richly credited intros in the lower rankings.
