A joint coding effort by two of Fairlight's most important members — Rowdy (Anders Larsson) and Bacchus (Pontus Berg), who together shaped the group's technical direction through the late 1980s and early 1990s. The music credit lists both Ratt and Benn, drawing on Ben Daglish and Antony Crowther's "We M.U.S.I.C. 2" — preserved in the HVSC. Kevin Bulmer contributed the charset. Released in October 1990, this intro arrived during Fairlight's mature C64 period, three years after the group's founding on 14 April 1987. Fairlight is the most heavily represented group in the rankings, with entries including the legendary #2 FLT-01. Bacchus would go on to become one of the most respected coders in the broader demo scene, while Rowdy handled much of the group's organisational work. Hugi's "The Delight of Eternal Might" provides a comprehensive history of the group's evolution from Swedish crackers to international demo legends.
