One of the mysteries for years so ,now I've noticed your on the board Mr Dunn.
Which came first ? your excellent Robocp tune or the Ariston advert?.
Aside from that I still think the Platoon tracks are some of the best ever game tunes (title tune esp.)
Cheers

Jon?
I beleive Jon composed it for the '64 version first then the Ariston advert was taken from Jon's Gameboy version of the tune.

Paul is correct. Ariston heard the Gameboy tune and thought it perfect for their TV ad. We licensed it to them for that very use.

Yeh, all those royalties would of been great...
Ran for 2 years accross europe on terrestial and satelite. My MU officer said that would of worked out at about £100K...
Everytime I heard it I cringed and switched the channel.
Wasn't there even a cartoon in one of the broad sheets about it at some point?

Sorry to hear about the royalties thing there Jonathan.
The music is so great it makes me want to hug you (metaphorically speaking)
Other tunes give me the chills are :
Rambo (Subtune 3 & 5)
WEC Le Mans (Subtune 4)
Revenge of Doh (Subtune 6)
Platoon (all of them)
I was surprised to read that Paul Hughes wrote the driver .
It explains why Matthew cannons musics allways reminded me of you.
I was wondering if you had an editor for the driver or if you hacked all the data directly in machine code or assembler ?
Your tune "Sigh of the eye " reminds me a bit of the Commando Highscore tune by Rob Hubbard,
is that just my imagination ?
I wish you luck with SOULARIS, its good to see that you took your talent to the next level.

Jon redid the driver post Green Beret II IIRC (that was the player with the proper sampled drums), put a more Hubbard like sequencer in there, and got some bloody awesome sounds out of the SID.
I remember putting in the "a la Hubbard" drums in the player - totally Jon's idea and it worked a treat - still don't know why it sounds like it does!
As the "editor" was just the driver source code there was a lot of opportunity to share Jon's sound patches amongst the other musicians.

Hi there guys  my name is thereallocomaniac and I'm a big fan of all the ocean games, my fave being Robocop on the Spectrum. I've got a site www.therealretromaniacs.co.uk where we talk about all that is retro. we even have a Youtube channel where i tend to feature alot of your games on many formats. i do a series called the 8bit wars where i compare the games on the Speccy,Amstrad and C64. I wanted to ask you guys if it would be ok to feature the music from the c64 version as our title music for the podcast that we do, i just wanted to use a 20-30second as our intro music? please let me know. also would be really cool to do an interview with you guys. thanks for your time:) |
