Thanks DM. I didn't do anything special for the music; I simple
converted all the notes into hex numbers and typed them in! It was a
bit labourious, but fortunately both tunes were relatively short, in
the same key, and used only two channels.

I've downloaded some of the latest remakes – the first I played was
your "Willy - The Man who Sold the World." Actually, I might be
approaching them in reverse chronological order… Anyways, my favourite
bit is the middle section, where Willy Jr. travels through the two
cities. You also get an actual sense of narrative in the game.

But what the clutch of recent games has showed me is that the JSW
remake scene is certainly well within its "third generation". People
have been able to add a lot of graphical sophistication, and the new
code patches people are doing are really starting to seriously "bend"
the original engine. And, of course, the JSW64 variants. It's all
pretty cool.

Stuart.
