@Wacek+Doc: ok, ok, let's raise the level. what about... "double meaning coding"? :) brainless example:
lda $c508,y
sta $cd01
cmp $08
ora #$f0
...some code and data for a beautiful rasterbar at the same time. pfff. :)
we should do a compo with that one day.

Absolutely cool minimalistic intro with great style! Love it!
@Smasher & Wacek: Talking about hiding code, check out my little contribution 4k Intro (Invaders): a simple F d800 dc00 01 will show you the hidden code ;-)
But there is more as we are at it - ofcourse you can overwrite init stuff (IRQ Init, Screen setup, PAL/NTSC detection) as you need it only once. I did it in that 4k intro and it saves you some more bytes ;-)

Hey ZeSmasher, I don’t claim I did it here as some kind of breakthrough, just mentioned it to clarify the intro name ;) I am sure plenty of people use it, I myself did it first time in 1997 in Inside :)

"hiding" code and data on screen is quite common practice. sprites for the floppy in lame intro Messy Messi Intro share the same area as bitmap (this is why screen is black next to mr.Messi).
hey Wacek, if you win the Nobel prize pls remember to share it with the guys here :)

Finally a sideborder scroll that's both warranted AND actually implemented. =) And yeah, nice minimalist design.

In case you are wondering about the name... this is a 'debug' view of the intro ;) All the code, tables, data etc is hidden in the screen you're looking at.

Less is more. This looked nice in the preview pic and I was sure the scroll area was going to bounce and flash and what not. I'm glad it doesn't. Music - fits perfectly, wouldn't expect anything less from the maestro.
