Brand New Music Album: Astral Combat

posted by TecSoft

Finally in a ZX Spectrum version - "ASTRAL COMBAT". It's a 3-parts music-collection made in 2013. Contains 8 digital songs.

Credits:
All music by YERZMYEY/HOOY-PROGRAM
Code by SHIRU.
Graphic by TRIXS and PIESIU/AGENDA.

Well, some example of AY chip possibilities. Works on ZX Spectrum 48K with AY-interface. It can work with beeper but the songs have NOT been designed for beeper, so it will sound like you-know-what. Also You can use Covox, if You have one, attached to Your Speccy.

Keys:
A - AY
B - beeper
C - COVOX
M - music start
SPACE - next parts.

If You load from cassette, please remember - in the main part choose songs in order, from 1 to 6, to avoid searching on the tape.

You can find this music in MP3 files, recorded from real hardware, on this WWW site: http://yerzmyey.i-demo.pl.
