Never had Speedball for C64, when I first heard it on Kohina stream, I thought it was from Dogs of War, the Amiga game which has *very* similar composition by the same guy - atleast to my ears.

@fourbarposer Indeed, Whittaker had adapted a kind of personal style from c64 times and carried it to Amiga. For similar examples check out Return to Genesis and Menace. In 1989 he composed music for Shadow of the Beast which is very unlike of his previous style and one of the greatest video game soundtracks ever made.

Great memories. (4:40) It's a wonder more of us didn't die from epilepsy watching these games load!

[oldskoolmacboy]

@mynamesforest Impossible epilepsy didn't exist in the 80's, neither did ADHD, dyspraxia.etc
