HAHA This is just BRILLIANT!

Can't believe I've only just seen it :)

I've seen the Gary design elsewhere, but I am just seeing the intro it came from now!

Superb!

Me and my 3 year old daughter Alice simply loves this one. This is so wonderful as it get's petscii wise. Alice keeps singing "Nyss så träffa ja en krokoldil, som körde runt i en bil" :) She thinks that Gary's teethes looks like sharp teethes though :)

Can't be helped, this is by far the most original intro of all. Although it does lean heavily on the awesome PETSCII by Mermaid it isn't the only intro with elements that have been used earlier. I still think it deserves my highest vote. And may I say: What an incredible tune Hein! Marvelous! 10/10

Cool code, catchy music, cute graphics, lovely design. An island of creative excellence in a sea of mediocrity.

This is so goddamn amazing intro. The original graphic was already jaw-dropping, and the animation here is pretty damn cool in it's simplistic brilliance.

And the music. Oh man. It instantly became one of my C64 favourites! This is how samples should be used in sid music.

I love how Hein and Mermaid always make their products look like a hobby and much less like a job - great fun and not forced at all... Yet still so polished and professional

Absolutely stunning!.. Just brilliant, from the idea to pixel-animate PETSCII gfx to making him talk via a scroller (though that's been inspired by Offence I guess? ;-) to the lyrical rhyming quality of the scrolltext itself! And let's not forget the really great catchy tune!

Fab! Music is really cool, petscii is off the hook (love the bouncing car) and the synced mouth movement with the scroller is just very cleverly done. Straight 10!
