Technique: Early computer effects.
Audio: A low whoosh at the beginning, with loud scratching noises when the letters change to white and more whooshes with twinkles as the screen goes to black.
Availability: Seen on British tapes released by Missing in Action, such as Spider-Man: The Dragon's Challenge and on various Garfield and Friends tapes. It also appears on the 1994 UK VHS of Barabbas.
