Can I request that you do this also for the game Alien Fires?

I've got the PC version of Alien Fires but not the Atari ST version. If I manage to get hold of it i'll gladly upload the intro for you.

Me as well. And i think this was the first game to use that technique on the ST, but i could be wrong.

Ace, remember getting that in the Power Pack that came with my STFM in 1990. Always found the hybrid sampled bass/drums and the soundchip lead instrument an intriguing mix.

The actual game sucked but this theme music is dope.

I always got stuck in one of the scenes when fighting againts the Predator. I do not know if the game had a bug or something but I played thousands of times and always got stuck in the same point.

I bought the power pack in 1990 and this was one of the first one I opted to play. Terrible game as I look at it now, but the intro was interesting, and I loved the intro track with its drum samples.

Actually it was moving ;-)

It was just interesting to have the limited YM2149 play a bass & drum track while playing a regular channel, ninja remix on the ST does this too.

Obviously, it would be nice to have 4 independent DAC channels capable of variable frequencies without chewing 30% upward of CPU power but it still impressed ST people to see something which wasn't thought to be possible.

One of few games using 'Half track' half tracker half chip music. THe power pack came with the FM Not STE.
