@@andyhodgson7692 you are damn right.I played the Game today on my new bought Atari 800xl and wondered why i never heard this masterpiece on my C64. The C64 Version is an other tune.To Bad...
What an absolute tune! Had no idea Rob Hubbard made this for the Atari,I've never heard this until now and I've been playing it non stop since,this may well be my favorite Hubbard soundtrack now!
This game was (and IS) legendary! Thankyou for the blast from the past... However because I grew up in Africa I didn't have the Atari version, I had the Spectrum version.. None the less, still EPIC at it's best :) DEFINITE plus +1 from me :)
Atari twangy metallic BRILLIANCE - big salute to ROB HUBBARD for such an amazing tune on a very old platform - brings back soooo many memories of my teenage years . . .
I'm 38 this year and certainly do know those two words! Wow I feel so lucky to have been the first generation of computer gamers, truly exciting and magical times the 1980s!
The part from 3:54 is my favorite and I have it in my head since I was like 4 years old. My cousin had Atari800 and we had ZX48. Beeper in our ZX48 was so inferior... :D
This is amazing, even more so it was done by an old Atari computer sound chip. I honestly did not know it would be capable of something with so much range.
You´ve got it! I played it for a hundrets of time for sure. I never finished it. Jumping forward by using the joystick was quit difficult. But that tune is Grade-A-Stuff!
This is actually incredible! I never thought id say this but this knocks the SID chip in the commodore 64 for 6! Not all atari 8 it computer games sound anywhere near this good though...
Brilliant track - along with Warhawk some of Mr Hubbard's best. Use to wait the 15 minutes to load this from tape just to hear the music. How could they screw up the game conversion that bad though? The most iconic brit game of the 80s!
Wonderful piece of music, incredibly crappy version of the game. Atari was capable of doing much better and really should have. Would have been quite easy to have ported over the Speccy or C64 version and added this gorgeous tune to it.
For sure, I hear it so often, now that it is on RUclips. I didn´t play that game for 19 years or something, but when I listen to this fantastic sound it is like yesterday.
I think he meant specifically for the Atari 8bit. Warhawk and International Karate soundtracks were multi platform. Albeit the Atari versions were, in my opinion,better than the C64 versions☺️ Definitely is a shame Rob didn't do more. Extirpator was not coded by Rob, would have been great if he actually did do Sanxion on the atari.
@ZXRulezzz Home computer games in the early '80s were essentially made by 18-year-olds in their parents' basements. It was all shoestring and DIY back then, and the package art was whatever twisted stuff they could conjure out of their heads. It was a very strong indie scene in those days, which laid the groundwork for the videogame industry today. Lots of indie computer games had wild & crazy covers. Why? Because the kids could get away with it, that's why. Good times.
The MSX version is one of the few versions that isn't broken. The Spectrum, Commodore 64 and BBC versions all have bugs in them making them impossible to complete without a bug fix.
@direct2brain big Jarre fan here. huge. you know what? I just listened to his early stuff (deserted palace) and got so depressed by what I heard, I came straight here! I know this is muuuuch newer than Jarre`s early stuff, but 100 times better too!
It's groovy. Can you hear these drums? Amazing! It was only at Atari's version. C64 bet on spooky music. Game is dull too hard even for immortals... But music is a masterpiece.
This is actually the reason I'm on this page; I'm listening to Equinoxe and suddenly realised, at the grand old age of 49, how much this reminded of the JSW theme tune from my childhood (Back then, at 15, we were still children, not young adults). It only took me 34 years to make the connection.
I had Atari 800XL when I was a kid, I loved a lot of 8 bit musics in games. Development teams were small and they did great music! Why current games does not have that catchy music?
i got jet set willy for pc free from somewhere on the net (Do a search) and it has all the old 8 bit versions of the music including this one. the music files were in XM format and could be played seperately with something like rainbow player or XM player.
some people said that atari XE computers didnt have the music capability, this proved the critics all wrong. listen to this and you cant deny the atari's music capability. I used to have Atari 130XE, and did have almost everysingle game on atari. sadly though, some of the great games had it on Atari tape player, and some of them did work, and some of them didnt, because of the atari's lousy tape player.
On tape you had to load that game about 15 minutes. I played that game so often but I never finished that game. It was very difficult to jump forward by using a joystick.
@ZXRulezzz there is a big story to this and it's part of a series basically you struck it rich in the mining business so you throw a grand party in your mansion and totally trash the place now your a drunk miner who's practically wasted with an angry housekeeper who wont let you sleep till you clean the whole house because she's tired of doing the work for you. so you have to find everything clean and go to bed.
Played this game just to listen to this awesome tune! BTW, did anybody ever finish this game? I remember how difficult it was to control the jumps by using a Joystick. and sometimes you lost all your lifes within seconds, just becouse you fell directly on a rotating jar while entering the next room, hit by a toaster or maby just stomped by a oversize shoe.

i think theres a guy on youtube who did it with (surprise surprise) guitars, yeah its ok, but would be nice to hear a "real" synth version bit more true to the original
Interesting comment, someone here also mentioned a Depeche Mode tune. I guess that a lot of the early new wave were very similar at the beginning of the 80's (OMD, Depeche Mode, Eurythmics, etc.), with that way for instance of not using chords. This track is from 1984, so after Eurythmics. Still, i think that Hubbard mentioned Jean-Michel Jarre as an inspiration for this tune. The references of Zoolookogie (first part of the melody is kind of a half rip-off, playing aroung the original without completely copying it) and Equinoxe 5 are quite obvious.

This was one of those games where music was waay better than the actual game. I remember loading the game just so I can listen to the tune.
What an absolute tune! Had no idea Rob Hubbard made this for the Atari,I've never heard this until now and I've been playing it non stop since,this may well be my favorite Hubbard soundtrack now!

Where r u from?
SiD was a superior chip, but with an uninviting tint and to many choke-like artifacts at the lower band.
As a synthesizer was superb though.
Rob Hubbard a genius of 8bit music!
Super muzyczka normalnie przenosi mnie w czasie jak jej słucham :D
Best Rob Hubbard tune ever imho - remember listening to this in the 80s
This piece is best of 8bit music, loved it back in 80's, love it now!

This is amazing, even more so it was done by an old Atari computer sound chip. I honestly did not know it would be capable of something with so much range.

Hubbard was "the Beethoven" of the eighties... lol
Beethoven of Atari, just amazing how it was possible with 64 kB
Cezary Kasenberg The music on 8-Bit machines only uses between 5-10KB. Tetris on the C64 is just over 25 mins it only uses 5KB

I feel 14yo again, Thanks Rob.

I'd love to hear this be played at my funeral
Kapitalny kawałek.
About a decade ago I got to play this game on the MSX toshiba, and I cleared the game. Not many people did it seems...
The MSX version is one of the few versions that isn't broken. The Spectrum, Commodore 64 and BBC versions all have bugs in them making them impossible to complete without a bug fix.

Actually, this track by Rob Hubbard is heavily influenced by Zoolookogie and Equinoxe 5. Hubbard is an assumed fan of Jarre.
It's groovy. Can you hear these drums? Amazing! It was only at Atari's version. C64 bet on spooky music. Game is dull too hard even for immortals... But music is a masterpiece.
I'm reminded of Jean-Michel Jarre's Equinoxe Part 5.

That's funny. You have to be a certain age to appreciate the words 'Rob Hubbard'! I loved this music at the time, so wierd hearing it now!

oh my god! That's my era! Born 1981 xD
AMAZING!
I had Atari 800XL when I was a kid, I loved a lot of 8 bit musics in games.

Why current games does not have that catchy music?
Because they tend to use movie style atmospheric crap, and games are more like movies nowadays than good ole classics.
Rob. You are the master
I like it sooo much :-)

So long time ago.. :'(

Awesome tune! There is a great ST YM version of this on an Automation menu. Not sure which one though, and I can't be bothered going through them all!
Rob. I wish to shake your hand master!
never heard this all the way through(im 20) thats a pretty epic song !
i have this music on when i play jet set online :) plus it's my ringtone lol
never heard of the game, but the music is great!!
This music IS by Rob Hubbard.
one of my favourite music! its a pity that graphics doesnt keep standard :P, lazy programists :)

hey, any remake from that?
