STIL:

COMMENT: Review copies of this game had a bugged loader which mucked up the music and so reviewers of the game gave the music a much lower rating. Julian Rignall (ex-editor of Zzap! 64) takes up the story: "I remember the God awful cacophony that was our review copy of Thrust's music as though it were still playing. This was the problem: the drum sounds worked, but all the other instrument sounds were screwed - basically it resulted in this horrible screeching noise playing to drums, rather than the cool heavyish sound that was heard in the final version of the game. It sounded really harsh and so it was duly shot down by us in the review. I remember hearing the 'proper' version of the game at a later dater and thinking 'ooooops!'. After all it was a classic tune (it became one of my faves, indeed) and we'd mercilessly beaten it down in the review, which was totally unfair. Still, it was good to be able to do a ZZAPback on it and remedy the error."
