8/16 bit music from the ninties (I'm an original 'Tracker' and didn't even know it!)
This was the beginning title track for the last RPG game that Atari Corp. published for the Atari Jaguar.
The Music was wriiten in MOD format using ProTrackerST and has been ported over to MP3.

The music for the game was finished in December of 1993, the game was finished and ready for publication/marketing in early 1994.
Unfortunately it took the developers’ (JV Games Inc.) 2 years of offering it at NAMM before it was picked up by Telegames, by that time a lot had changed and the game (at that time) was considered a bit 'dated' for the audio and audio engine, as well the games 3d engine. Via the Atari 'BBS' days (Bulletin Board Systems)I had down/loaded the original 1st version called Towers: Plight of the Stargazer. I liked it so much that I called JV games to register for my 'key' to unlock the upper levels. In talking with Vince Valenti - Programmer Extraordinaire, I mentioned that I was a musician and that I had just purchased my Atari Falcon 030 for recording digital audio (years before PC's did) I had the 'full' whopping 4mb memory (they had only 1mb on their machine).
Vince asked if I would like to try composing music for the new Falcon / Jaguar version - Towers II. I jumped at the opportunity and told him how I always wanted to have a 'video theme' type of music in 'what was then considered' an RPG game. So it was in 1994 that this music was finished and available, but unfortunately I missed my 'props' for my idea and effort, as it took another two years before it was published....there, is that enough trivia for ya?
