Title: The music in Space Harrier
Post by: mr_lou on 15:35, 08 December 10
Ohoy.

I was thinking, the music in Jet Set Willy (on the CPC) is The Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven.
I always liked that tune, and was quite surprised years later when I learned that it was infact a classical piece of music.

The music in Space Harrier's Highscore screen is equally dear to me. So now I'm wondering if that too might come from somewhere else. Do you know?

I don't remember Harrier Attack having any music? I'll have to load it up tonight and check it. I do remember that Sabre Wolf also used a piece of Classical music in the intro screen, but I can't remember which piece.

Oops, read it wrong, for some reason I read Harrier Attack, not Space Harrier, I need more sleep...

I know a few of those old AMSOFT games have tunes from popular places, Roland on the Ropes has the theme from High Noon for example and Space Hawks has a bit of the Star Wars theme in it! Space Harrier I not too sure, it's an excellent tune, I thought it might have been from the Arcade version or something.
