STIL comment"We had this coin op in the office at Elite and we spent many an hour 'researching' it. The music however used many channels and didn't have a particularly catchy theme so I did an original composition. The tune is a bit on the weird side but I thought that it went quite well with the fairly slow pace of the cycling round the streets bit of the game. On the coin op there were a number of speech samples and some of these were put into the Amiga version of the game which did have the original music." (MC)

B3L4:
I would say push that organ more build it on that and you will rock! Drum to harsh, start with organ, long intro etc…
LaLa:
I think this would work a lot better if the original SID was more in the background, surrounded by more modern instruments. Of your recent enhanced SID releases, this shows the most promise.
kwed:
Apart from a little keyboard action, this doesn't add much to the original chiptune. Not bad - just doesn't get me excited either.
