Jet Set Willy - Atari 8-bit (Remix)

My few years old simple remix of the great theme from Jet Set Willy, which I loved to listen to on my Atari 800 XE. It is not finished and will not be, but still might be worth trying, provided you like the original.

@WhiteFalconus : I especially like this version. But the melody is somewhat familiar to me - is it Jean-Michel Jarre inspired? Oxygène? Équinoxe? Please aid, looking for the original...

[WhiteFalconus]

@hippocrates72 I can understand how it reminds you of Jarre, I bet the author was inspired there, but I am convinced this one is original.

Atari is a 4 bit system!!!

[WhiteFalconus]

And where did you get THAT from again?

@sandwichtube; "Atari is a 4 bit system!!!"

Strictly speaking, in terms of sound, this is true- when controlled directly, the sound chip output can be one of 16 levels, i.e. 4 bit resolution. That's why samples on the 800 sound very coarse compared to the Amiga (8-bit sample output) or CDs (16-bit).

However, this only really applies to sample playback, and POKEY was never intended for that anyway (like most chips of its era). It was meant for square-wave sound, where 16 volume levels is fine.

@sandwichtube You're thinking of the wrong Atari system.
