Bad_Cat.sid    This is claimed to be the first ever C64 music made using samples. According to Hülsbeck, though, the game "Bad Cat" was delayed about 3 months at Rainbow Arts during which time Imagine released their game "Arkanoid", containing Martin Galway's sample-like technique. "Arkanoid" thus became the first publically available game to feature SID music with samples.

Circus_Attractions.sid    "There was some tune-swapping going on, as Chris was assigned [to do] the music for Circus Attractions while Ramiro had the pleasure of doing Rock'n'Roll. Now Chris hated circus music as much as Ramiro hated R'n'R. Therefore, Ramiro composed part of the Circus Attractions title music [and] Chris at some stage helped Ramiro with the R'n'R musics, but it is unclear in what way. [...]" (All info is from Miron Schmidt.)

Jinks.sid    The title tune on the original C64 version would play in a different chord every time that the title screen was displayed. This is reproduced in some SID emulators by restarting the tune.

R-type.sid    Very interesting story here. Katakis was released in September 1988 by Rainbow Arts, however it never got a release in the UK as Activision had it cancelled because of similarities to R-type, to which Activision had bought the conversion rights. Activision were getting nowhere with their conversion of R-Type and they liked what they saw of Katakis, so they hired the same programming team (Manfred Trenz and others) to do the C64 conversion. They only got 6 weeks to write the conversion, and sadly, it shows. Katakis was eventually altered and released as Denaris in 1989. Tunes #2 to #14 all cover of the arcade game.

Shades.sid    Aged 16, Chris Hülsbeck entered a music contest in the German computer magazine "64er Magazine" with this song. It finished #1. See /Huelsbeck_Chris/Shades_filter_corrected.sid for more information.
Shades_filter_corrected.sid    "When I composed Shades, I had a slightly out of whack filter in my C64 and I didn't have the time to cross-check with other C64s. Result is that the tune appears too filtered compared to my original intention. I released a little program to correct the filter in the next magazine edition after the competition. Here is a version that is much closer to how it was intended to sound." (CH)
