Fletch coded this Ikari intro released in July 1988, exactly one year after the British group's founding. The music is JCH's (Jens-Christian Huus) "Can't Stop" — a SID tune preserved in the High Voltage SID Collection. JCH was one of the most celebrated C64 composers, and his music appeared in numerous Ikari intros throughout the group's catalogue. Fletch was a key member who later became central to Ikari's joint operations with Talent, handling both coding and cracking duties in that partnership's releases. Ikari is among the most heavily represented groups in this entire collection, with entries ranging from #6 Ikari-02 and #15 Ikari-07 through to dozens of other placements. Doc Snyder's Page lists Fletch as both coder and artist for the Ikari+Talent joint intros, confirming his versatility within the group. This mid-1988 release falls during Ikari's first major expansion phase as a leading UK cracking operation.
