Very impressive, sounds just like the PET version. Different sounding engine for the speccy.

Yes, it has a custom engine. Nothing fancy there, it basically replicates the 6522 capabilities - the only channel that plays a looped bit pattern, just to make the music match the PET counterpart closely. The ZX port of the game is bundled with a music demo Faulty Robots, a port of the PET one, with all 8 tracks. It just happens to be a commercial game, so I thought it pointless to announce the bundled music demo separately, when the PET original one is freely available.

Hi Shiru

Just seen this new speccy game on youtube.

Notice you've converted the great PET tunes.

Did you write a new engine for this?
