STIL comment"I believe it to be my most elaborate, complete and successful conversion of a 'digital audio sourced' tune. ZZAP! 64 only gave the music 79%, my worst score since 'Roland's Rat Race', so you can imagine my disappointment. One of the other tunes was easy, that's the simple ballad melody 'come and follow me', which I was able to arrange quite successfully. The other one was a nightmare since it's the tune right from the beginning of the movie with all the robotic short notes & arpeggios. The tune just built up so massive that the poor C64 was short of notes by about 30 seconds into it, so I had to fudge the end a bit and make it repeat, basically." (MG)

  Comment: "I also had to do 'Who's Johnny?' by El DeBarge for the 'Short Circuit' game, that took 4 weeks to program in with all those slides and copies of what the record does, I regarded that as quite an achievement since it was kind of a neat tune." (MG)
