jet set willy-atari music do ataku

[RandomWithWolfeyt]

what is the purpose of this game? To flush yourself in? I REALLY don't get the ending...

[CrudityDevArt]

cudeńko ;,D

[direct2brain]

almost like Jean Michael Jarre :)

[autentyk]

@direct2brain big Jarre fan here. huge. you know what? I just listened to his early stuff (deserted palace) and got so depressed by what I heard, I came straight here! I know this is muuuuch newer than Jarre`s early stuff, but 100 times better too!

[WildFusionOfficial]

total odmułka !

[madcapoperator]

This is actually incredible! I never thought id say this but this knocks the SID chip in the commodore 64 for 6! Not all atari 8 it computer games sound anywhere near this good though...

[flickrsteve]

Cool but the ZX Spectrum version was far better. Nice music but not suited to jsw2 imho

[ZXRulezzz]

Why the hell there's drunk guy puking in the toilet on the game cover? I don't get it :/

[sub2me4areview]

@ZXRulezzz Play the game, it makes sense

[gamesDAMNED]

@ZXRulezzz Home computer games in the early '80s were essentially made by 18-year-olds in their parents' basements. It was all shoestring and DIY back then, and the package art was whatever twisted stuff they could conjure out of their heads. It was a very strong indie scene in those days, which laid the groundwork for the videogame industry today. Lots of indie computer games had wild & crazy covers. Why? Because the kids could get away with it, that's why. Good times.

[Shatterband1]

@ZXRulezzz there is a big story to this and it's part of a series basically you struck it rich in the mining business so you throw a grand party in your mansion and totally trash the place now your a drunk miner who's practically wasted with an angry housekeeper who wont let you sleep till you clean the whole house because she's tired of doing the work for you. so you have to find everything clean and go to bed.

[thonaw]

I tried to play it on my keyboard... Forgett it :-) !

[inphanta]

Excellent Rob Hubbard tune.

[nexgenhippy]

i got jet set willy for pc free from somewhere on the net (Do a search) and it has all the old 8 bit versions of the music including this one. the music files were in XM format and could be played seperately with something like rainbow player or XM player.

[ifoxfirei]

never heard of the game, but the music is great!!

[urmo345]

hey, any remake from that?

[florinthedwarf]

Won't get better than the speccy version. Even musically. This sounds too generic.

[linklodz1]

Rob Hubbard is the BEST !!!

[linklodz1]

Rob Hubbard is the best !!!

[pix8175]

Brilliant track - along with Warhawk some of Mr Hubbard's best. Use to wait the 15 minutes to load this from tape just to hear the music. How could they screw up the game conversion that bad though? The most iconic brit game of the 80s!

[betterwatchit]

Have you got this on MP3?

[MrPointyarrow]

i didnt know jetset willy was on atari. only played it on spectrum 48k

[c64glen]

A credit for Rob Hubbard in the description would be nice.

[GamesEmotions]

@c64glen you're right! Done! :)

[c64glen]

@GamesEmotions That's spot on, cheers! :)

[darealjansolo]

best atari music ever. still asskicking today. and yeah, fuck you master bedroom!!! :-D

[waynenield]

I prefer the Speccy Music, I think it was more suited to the game. This music sounds like it belongs to a 'shoot em up' game.

[KomaruMedare]

Dear Rob Hubbard,

I shall sacrifice all of my toes just to shake your hand.

[CZpoli]

FUCK YOU master bedroom :) ATARI YEAH, me and my brother playing this game .... priceless, when we was young, tape recorder yeah ... my old nick chickdabitch ... i love you

[d0dge25]

Rob Hubbard in his full POKY brilliance \o/

I simply love this break at 3:50

[d0dge25]

...POKEY even...

[dusahn]

Ach, nesmrteľné Atari ! Pekné to boli časy :)

[SPeacock]

I'm kind of surprised JSW was never released in the US :) Good game, though.

[bentsimon]

Reminds me of "Love is a stranger"... :-)

[radoulek]

:) Ach, nesmrtelne Atari ! Pěné to byly časy :)

[krzychuka]

Ach, nieśmiertelne Atari ! Piękne to były czasy... :)

[RobertJastak]

Dobre,dobre

[radoulek]

:) staré kurva dobré časy :))

[trophy242]

Hmm... I can read your language.... It almost seems to be Polish :-) Greetz! Stare dobre czasy, nie ma co...

[MrSIDEK]

dziennie po kilka razy jej słucham czasem przez pare godzin jestr przejebana ta muzyczka daje tez do myslenia:D

[BOBtoper]

Stare Kurwa dobre cyasz sie pryzpominaj :D

Ah te atari :)))

[MrSIDEK]

music is the best

[Legopancake]

never heard this all the way through(im 20) thats a pretty epic song !

[Sakuzo]

do you know any covers based on this tune? I liked it so much back in 80s, but wonder how it would sound with real instruments :)

[MrMiister]

i think theres a guy on youtube who did it with (surprise surprise) guitars, yeah its ok, but would be nice to hear a "real" synth version bit more true to the original

[james5353]

Best Rob Hubbard tune ever imho - remember listening to this in the 80s

[mediengestoert]

i love them.

and the music is ssssoooooo perfekt.

great !!!!

[em0ti0nCZE]

definitely the best Rob Hubbard IMO :)

[nexgenhippy]

Best version about. and i played most of them though the only main difference was the music, really.

[coolasshole23]

here is my list of the best music on Atari 8 bit computer,

3) Zybex

2) Jet set willy

1) Draconus

[rafalopolus]

I completly agree with your list, plus international karate plus (world karate championship) and amaouroute

[Sabremonk]

Graphics are completely different from the original Speccy version, developed by Software Project. Music is okay, but I can't imagine the relation between the gameplay and this theme. To be honest, I don't think this a good conversion, anyway I don't want to rate this video, because probably people who had played this version of the game cosider it pretty good (as usual).

[matholton]

Yeah, great music but this IS NOT JET SET WILLY!!!

The definitive version of Jet Set Willy is the Spectrum version.

Please, the person who ported this should be ashamed of themselves....

[CoolDudeClem]

Man I love vintage stuff, old computers, vintage audio, this song. I recorded this on to one of my vintage reel to reel tapes.

[MrMichalsky]

Atari forever!

[RoboFH]

This game was so bugged, it was impossible to finish it. The music's great though.

[thonaw]

You´ve got it! I played it for a hundrets of time for sure. I never finished it. Jumping forward by using the joystick was quit difficult. But that tune is Grade-A-Stuff!

[ELTomeq]

What ??? ... once your mastered the controls the game was pretty easy. I finished it many many fimes.... for the great music, of course :)

[kamlondonuk]

this was one of my favorite games on the Spectrum

[JohnLee1111]

holy shit this song is amazing

[thonaw]

For sure, I hear it so often, now that it is on YouTube. I didn´t play that game for 19 years or something, but when I listen to this fantastic sound it is like yesterday.

[LeszekEl]

fucking amazing music !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[musicvideosthatsuck]

Awesome music. Awful game.

[gezmen]

@musicvideosthatsuck Agree.

[thonaw]

On tape you had to load that game about 15 minutes. I played that game so often but I never finished that game. It was very difficult to jump forward by using a joystick.

[braineaterknux]

If I had to make a video game on a large budget, I'd get Rob Hubbard to compose the music.

[OMA2k]

This music IS by Rob Hubbard.

[braineaterknux]

Yeah I know.

[carmstrong1972]

That's funny. You have to be a certain age to appreciate the words 'Rob Hubbard'! I loved this music at the time, so wierd hearing it now!

[EgoShredder]

I'm 38 this year and certainly do know those two words! Wow I feel so lucky to have been the first generation of computer gamers, truly exciting and magical times the 1980s!

[shinnare]

JSW, Feud, Goonies and (if i remember right) Draconus - best music and good memories... thanks for sharing man....

[braineaterknux]

Holy crap... This is such a freaking awesome tune.

[critanime]

i have this music on when i play jet set online :) plus it's my ringtone lol

[madderscientist23]

any chance you could PM me the mp3 please mate?

[reverendcutterx]

Hand on the volume control, just in case somebody comes into my office. Hell, I'll still be sneaking a listen to Hubbards tracks when I'm 90 : )

Such a closet geek!

[vonnie1uk2001]

Willy looks so much taller and thinner on Atari than he did on my Spectrum!

[His7021]

cassette box picture is great,

music, and game, too!

[CrudityDevArt]

One of best atari themes

[Velet66]

omg i never thought i'd hear this music ever again! thanks!

[chickdabitch]

♥this game ♥ music

[metalcoola]

6 months ago,Xxl{Polish}convert game from spectrum.That version is Much better

[rfswitchbox]

This is a great tune, definitely among one of my favorites from an 8-bit Atari game. Thanks for posting it!

It's a shame the gameplay on the Atari port of Jet Set Willy is a little lousy. Oh well. At least it got the awesome music! :)

[coolasshole23]

some people said that atari XE computers didnt have the music capability, this proved the critics all wrong. listen to this and you cant deny the atari's music capability. I used to have Atari 130XE, and did have almost everysingle game on atari. sadly though, some of the great games had it on Atari tape player, and some of them did work, and some of them didnt, because of the atari's lousy tape player.

[NotATube]

I don't know where they'd have got that idea! With the exception of the C64's SID chip, it was at least as good as the most other 8-bit formats' sound.

And yeah, the horrible tapes sucked, particularly as the Atari wasn't the fastest loader on the block either.

[Kand1nSky]

finally you dit it - thanks! #k.

[lordtrumpy]

Yep really good rob hubbard tune.

Hated the atari version of the game, but loved the tune.

[gedzior84]

yeah, this conversion for XL/XE, was a bit crappy for its gameplay, but the music beats it all :D

[GamesEmotions]

I totally agree :)

[miromicus2]

Great and powerful Atari tune. One of the best Atari game songs for me.

[odislaw]

one of my favourite music! its a pity that graphics doesnt keep standard :P, lazy programists :)
