STIL:

COMMENT: "Last V8 was a simple futuristic game and so I was off into Jarre land.... I purposely wrote the 2 melody lines to work off one voice to make it sound like more than 1 voice." (RH) The Last V8 was the first game released by Mastertronic's new label MAD (Mastertronic's Added Dimension). Due to the fact they wanted the launch to coincide with the release of the Last V8, the game was rush released and therefore unfortunately had a bug, where the main theme music (subtune #1) falls out of synch at around the one minute mark. Upon closer investigation, this is due to a mere seven bytes of the music player code being incorrect. This SID has those bytes corrected.
