    We talking about the demo where Ben Daglish, who recently passed away <https://news-commentaries.blogspot.com/2018/10/the-commodore-64-community-mourns-ben.html>
    did the music to? I have the Commodore 64 floppy image.

    [After further review]

    Yes, it is the demo, used as an advertisement for Compunet. Seems they
    just added some scrolling text. Interesting.
