About Hactar

Hactar was the first computer whose individual components reflected the pattern of the whole. Hactar is assembled and programmed by the Silastic Armourfiends, who then order him to assemble an "Ultimate Weapon." Hactar, receiving no other guidance from the Amourfiends, takes the request literally and builds a supernova bomb which would connect every major sun in the universe through hyperspace, thus causing every star to go supernova. Deciding that he could find no circumstance where such a bomb would be justified, Hactar builds a small defect into it. After discovering the defect, the Armourfiends pulverize Hactar. Rather than being destroyed, he is only crippled. He then remakes his bomb, without a defect, which he attempts to blow up the Universe. Thankfully, Arthur accidentally saves the Universe and the bomb does not go off.

About this track

I believe that this track is the old Formby Lane so hence it's surface being half decent.

Congratulations to Dawes Scorpio and Brookomatic for the FTF!!
