CSDb catalogues this as the joint "Talent & INC Intro," released on 2 September 1989 — barely two months after Talent's founding in July 1989. The Mind Slayer coded the intro, with no listed music or graphics credits, suggesting a quick early production as the newly formed partnership established itself. Talent was a UK-based group that would go on to become far better known through its later alliance with Ikari, producing some of the most recognizable joint intros of the late C64 era — as seen in #37 Talent-11. International Network of Chaos (INC) was a separate entity that cooperated with Talent on this release. The sparse credits and lack of music point to a utilitarian intro focused on branding the crack rather than showcasing technical prowess. Talent's archived website, preserved on the Wayback Machine, documents the group's broader history.
