A nine-tune jukebox intro from Ikari, coded by Excell and released on 22 December 1988. The music lineup is exceptional — JCH contributes four tracks ("Nilfisk," "Shadow Sun," "Short 'n' Sad," and "Revolutionary"), alongside tunes by Johannes Bjerregaard ("Chase"), Leffty ("Bangkok Fe"), Diflex ("Rhenus Demo '88"), Jeroen Soede ("Funky Stuff"), and EVS ("Popcorn Mix"). All nine SID files are preserved in the HVSC. This abundance of music — six different composers across nine tracks — makes it one of the most musically rich Ikari intros in the rankings. Ikari, the UK-based group founded in July 1987, is the most represented group in the intro rankings overall, with entries including #6 Ikari-02, #9 Ikari-06, and #21 Ikari-09. Excell also contributed graphics and charsets to other Ikari productions documented on Doc Snyder's page.
