CSDb catalogues this as "FBR Intro (Mandrake)" -- coded by Mandrake, listed as a member of Public Enemy. Released on 31 May 1988, this silent intro was used in cracks of "Beyond the Ice Palace +2" and "Supreme Squadron." Disassembly confirms no writes to SID registers, making this a text-only presentation. Mandrake's affiliation with Public Enemy while contributing to FBR reflects the fluid membership boundaries typical of the American scene, where coders often worked across multiple groups simultaneously. Fucked Beyond Repair was founded in 1986 and dissolved in 1989, producing 594 documented releases. By mid-1988 the group was drawing on an expanding roster of external coders beyond its core Death Demon series. The intro's lean approach -- scrolltext without audio accompaniment -- was common among American groups that prioritised fast turnaround on cracks over elaborate presentation.
