I don't know... on my Amstrad CPC sounded like in the video. Maybe you played this game on a Spectrum ZX. On this computer, the AY-38912 was connected to a 1,7 Mhz oscillator instead of to a 1Mhz one. This makes the internal oscillator oscillate nearly at de double of frecueny than in an Amstrad CPC. In other words: setting the same frecuency in the same AY but with the 1,7Mhz oscillator causes the note to sound nearly one octave above ( the double of frecuency ).

Wouldn't it be the opposite, the spectrum version of the tune played at the amstrad cpc clock speed?

If you load Saboteur 2 on any CPC emulator it doesn't sound like in the video. I used the CPC version as a guide to make a cover of this tune last summer, so I'm quite familiar with it :)

The CPC Saboteur 2 tune sounds like an octave lower. Why?
