Music while you work!
Over the decades, I've seen many neat programs that would play a piece of chip music, in GEM, as a background task. I always thought this was so cool and wondered why there wasn't more. Well, it turns out that there are a lot on several Budgie UK disks. (I don't think I ever saw these types of programs on any other floppy disks?)
Anyhow, I've spent some time going through my disks to gather a quick, no-frills compilation. Some of these tracks were made by Goth but I'm not sure who else to credit for the rest - possibly Budgie UK? There's also an intro included which is a scroller text by me using a utility coded by Dogue de Mauve of Overlanders.
I hope this floppy disk is of some interest to you ST Nutters? Like it? Let me know in the comments below!
(my download is updated to v1.1 -thanks to Tronic of Effect for his superb new addition!!) :-)
Very interesting find.. but your scrolly made my eyes hurt.. I had to stop watching video :-( (really, no joke!)
ReplyDeleteSame here. It's too fast but much nicer on real hardware compared to YouTube or jerky emulation. Sorry I made your eyes hurt ;p
DeleteI'll bet I'd have had no issues "back in the day" when my eyes were younger :-)
