Matthew Smith was planning to write a ten-level horizontal-scrolling platform-game called Miner Willy Meets The Taxman.
"You'd start in modern times and then go back through various periods of English history. A Tudor level, a medieval one, something with the Celtic tribes in, back to the Romans, who were the first taxmen.'

If I'm totally truthfull - I ripped the sound code out of 'Trantor' (I think it was a demo version off of the cover of a mag) - but only to see how it was done! If you disassemble both code routines you'll see that they are different!
Honest! (Search for two OUT (254),a instructions within a few bytes of each other).
There's a confession for you!
I wrote a sound editor for Keith to use - it had a two channel keyboard at the bottom of the screen (similar to that seen on the Firefy menu screen) and loads of drum symbols which used to flash when a drum sound was triggered. Long since gone now, I'm afraid!

Deja-freaking-Vu! Where the heck have I seen this nearly exact post before?
I always wondered who wrote the music routine for Firefly... You or whoever did the music?
On topic, wasn't Rick Dangerous 2 taking place in various time eras?
Me. Keith Tinman wrote the tunes.
