This is one of the best 48k tracks I ever heard. Awesome for just a single beeper. Cheers

To make any sound on a spectrum 48K, you wrote 1 or 0 to a port which would turn on/off a speaker. That's all you could do. The coders back in the 80's were geniuses!

..in the way that it was not only hard bloody work but also fantastic. I see it as an evolution.

I bought games for the music only :)

@MiracleKD18 Its the same tune for both 48K and 128K, think there's a slight difference in pitch but its nothing much really.
Tim Follin is the best chip-musician ever. We love you Tim!

Yep, this game was .... quite bad, TBH. 1.99 though, so couldn't complain.
However, the music... OMG awesome in a ZX Spectrum! 5 channel sound. Decent tune as well. Unheard of, in a machine that had a crappy cheap beeper soldered to it's mother board. I used to load the game just for the music.

@CartoonsKick The game was a bit of a dud but the music is stunning! Tim Follin was a master.

this is a bit too similar to his music for chronos :))

@YumanoidPontifex Sometimes that was the problem with 8-bit music, it was easy to recycle the notes and stuff, look at Code Masters for instance. Its still a great tune though all the same.
