C64_music Music source files from 1980's Commodore 64 games So that folks can read through, analyse & understand the music players and how I went about doing my work. Feel free to re-assemble, modify & generate new music. Please credit the original author of this work, Martin Galway. I am the current copyright owner in all this music & programming code, but was not the owner at the time it was created in the 1980's. I acquired the rights from Infogrames later. "Wizball" used the "1st Generation" player, whose design had been in use since 1984 thu about mid-1987. The 2nd Generation player was first used on "Athena" - written for that game, in fact - and later on games like Times Of Lore and Insects In Space -Martin Galway April 14th 2026
