A sneak preview of the OutRun music I made for the ZX Spectrum! :-)

I'm hoping to share the full tracks in the near future, plus many other tunes I've made :-)

I also made the screenshot - my fantasy of how OutRun could look on the Spectrum.

Just a quick demo of how the ZX Spectrum could handle the music from Mikie.

My version of the Monkey Island Voodoo theme, on the ZX Spectrum! :-) (Made in 3 audio channels.)

This awesome track by Michael Land has always been one of my favorite pieces. There are several different versions of this tune, but this is based on the Amiga version which for me is the best version of this particular track.

All the other versions have more decorative, jazzy drum riffs, but the Amiga has a steadily pounding beat, which sounds both ominous and hypnotic. The Amiga version also has the best bassline, with a strong bass guitar and more held notes, giving the track more power. The intro chords also sound spookier on the Amiga because they're slightly arpeggiated, while the lead flute has an echo, which heightens the spookiness even further.

So overall, the Amiga version is less rhythmically scatty and more spooky. It also omits the softer, more whimsical two-note intro and begins abruptly, as if to make you jump!

I'd like to think I've done justice to this piece, trying to improve upon it slightly to make what I consider the definitive version. I've given it really strong bass, more arpeggiation on the chords, plus other subtle tweaks, such as a little percussion fill before the track loops. :D

More Spectrum Monkey Island tunes on their way soon, hopefully! I'm also hoping to launch a YouTube channel soon!

I wanted to update the music from Ramparts with a beat that you can dance to!

Just a very quick attempt to see how it might sound if I did the R-Type music on the ZX Spectrum

This is the music from the 1986 game Time Trucker, remixed on the ZX Spectrum. I made this because I'd forgotten the name of the game and wanted help identifying it! (It's been 36 years since I last played this, back in primary school). Big thanks to Tom Nash from the Stardot Acorn forum for correctly identifying it! :-)

Fans rejoiced when the cartoon's missing final episode "Requiem" was put together by a fan in 2020. The episode is excellent, though the voices weren't very accurate. I sent this demo to the creator, in case he wanted to update any of the voices. He didn't, but I had fun doing the impressions anyway :-)

What would Hungry Horace sound like if it had in-game music? Here's an idea.

This is David Whittaker's iconic tune for Dizzy 1. I've turned it into an AY tune, and extended it slightly, also making it loop better than the original :-) I'm hoping this can be used in Titus's updated version of the game.

Dizzy 1 title screen (Lee Bee AY remix)

This is a brand new tune for Dizzy 1. It's inspired by David Whittaker's original "game over" beeper tune which I love.

Later in the tune it trasitions into the Amstrad CPC ingame music. I like that tune and think the game should include it.

Here are all eight classical tunes from the ZX Spectrum version of the 1985 videogame "Little Computer People" (aka "Pet Person").

Tracks:
1. Léo Delibes - Pizzicato [from Sylvia]
2. Ludwig van Beethoven - Für Elise
3. Unknown, probably Bach
4. Johann Sebastian Bach - Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, Zion hört (BWV 645)
5. Frédéric François Chopin - Waltz Op. 64 (Minute Waltz)
6. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Rondo Alla Turca 
7. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Piano Sonata in C (KV 545)
8. Pachelbel - Canon

If anyone can identify track 3 then PLEASE let me know!

Note that #7 is messed up and the melody and bass become increasingly out of synch as the tune progresses!

Other versions of this game (such as the C64 version) featured better quality music, and more tunes.
