The one with the Skulls that open as the text passes through you mean?
Yeah! That rocks, the music is so cool too. Reminds me a little of the Interceptor Cracktro on the amiga by Unit A, I have to say that the C64 Black Reign one is even better than Unit A interceptor!

But here is a question, on flashtro.com those flashtros take longer to load because of the music having to be sampled, are these C64 flashtros using a different method of playing the songs?

Post by: Shockwave on August 26, 2007: I thought that there might be because they seemed to load so quickly, cheers.

Post by: Jim on August 26, 2007: Would be an EPIC bit of Action Script if it really were emulating a SID! It (Black Reign) sounds like a really low quality mp3 to me.
