STIL:

COMMENT: The game allows you to adjust the filter by pressing the + and - keys. This rip is set to the default. "I am sorry to see that most composers these days don't have access to the kind of tricks I was able to do (being a programmer), which for example allowed me to create the 'buzzing bees' effect at the beginning of the tune. Too bad, eh?" "Well by the time I got to that game (1988) I was a bit hard up for ideas. I didn't know what to do with so few notes available! I wanted my tunes to build up into much larger entities but I always hit this limit. Plus the time at which that game was developed was a pretty rough time for Sensi, none of us were too happy at the time. Insects In Space was a victim of this. True though, it certainly has 'character', but it just doesn't go on LONG enough, don't you agree?" (MG)
COMMENT: The thunder sound plays randomly.
