STIL:

COMMENT: "Game was made (like Tough Guys) by Ramon (BB) van de Laar. And it's about a forester who has to paint the brown leaves green again avoiding EVIL forest animals. It was a real pain in the ass to play but was awarded as one of the best games in '92. My pally Roland Hermans (ex-Einstein/RGJ/Smidas from ATG (Actual Trading Generation) always helped me with the technical bits of C64 music like players and presets etc. Some presets throughout this game music are from Johannes Bjerregaard's Flimbo's Quest. There's one I used as lead, bass and as arpeggio (chords)." (JW)
COMMENT: "This is the congratulations tune consisting a Follin like melody row of fast notes made by Roland Hermans. The filter lead in the beginning is from Jeroen Tel's Myth tune #3. As you can hear I very much like to leave the bass away at the end of zaxes to get a nice "echo" effect." (JW)
COMMENT: "This level tune #1, a 2-voice zax made in a simple march tempo. The other track was used as sound-fx track. I thought about putting in a 3rd optional drum track or extra lead track but this was thought to be not necessary." (JW)
COMMENT: "This is the second level zax, also 2-voiced. Bit more cheerful than the 1st level zax. Bits of the melody popped into my mind when I was cycling home from school." (JW)
TITLE: Canon in D major
ARTIST: Johann Pachelbel
COMMENT: "I used a Tim Follin bass from Psycho Pigs UXB tune #1. The harmonica is from Follin's Black Lamp, Tune #1." (JW)
COMMENT: "This is the game over tune. First made in Dutch USA team's Music Assembler. I made this tune not knowing what it would become. But it fits its purpose very nicely I think." (JW)
COMMENT: "This is the high score tune. Before Forester this sound was published (slightly different from this one) as "Ode to Junior". Junior was a cat that we had at my elderly home. Was, because he's now in cat's heaven. Tune was made in a period I didn't know how to make use of arpeggio's (chord substitutes). It's still ok, I guess." (JW)
COMMENT: "This is the bonus level tune. It's made a bit faster than the level tunes to get that hectic feel. Funny is the extreme fast part starting from (1:41) which may make the game even more difficult to play if you let yourself be influenced by the sound." (JW)
TITLE: Kwik Snax, Tune #6
ARTIST: Robert Westgate
COMMENT: "This is the end of level zax. Without knowing I somewhat copied tune #6 from Codemasters' Kwik Snax. I used 2 tracks for the lead to get that sort of echo stuff in." (JW)
