I had this on the 48k rubber key in 1984. Great days, & the world was a much better place then.

Who else nearly pressed the Return key at the start of this video? :)

I grew up playing this during the 1980s whilst on the news Arthur Scargill and the miner's strikes were contemporary issues. The chip tune version of Grieg's "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" now burnished into my brain gave me an unwitting insight into Henrik Ibsen's brain and Norwegian culture so that years later, when I visited Norway, I felt as if I'd gone home!

@misssadie Ok I get it now. But still, I would rather have no music then this...

@AutomatonGames Mario was about 2 years later on a lot more powerful hardware. This was the first game on the Spectrum to have music. Remember that the spectrum had 16kb of RAM (48kb if you were lucky and had a deluxe model) and was programmed in BASIC! The music required full CPU so the system alternates between the game and music!
