newcoleco Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I know you can find much more, like part of the Beethoven synphony in Smurf Rescue in Gargamel's Castle. But if you are like me, you can't identify all of them. Let's use this thread to share our music knowledge (if you accept of course).

LOOPINGhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGRumu-Qo6k SPY HUNTERhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK-b5PLhrEI I know Gyruss has parts of Bach's "Toccata & Fugue in D Minor" as does the intro screen to Donkey Kong, Jr.. Mr. Do! uses the "Can Can" march as its BGM in the arcade version, but the ColecoVision version does not use it. On both the arcade and ADAM Super Game versions of Donkey Kong, Jr. the "Can Can" song is heard during the intermission screen of the Hideout (sparks) stage. ~Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed1475 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Great idea for a thread! I've been wanting to know where the music in Looping came from ever since we played it in HSC in July 2009. It's perfect for the precision flying required thru the pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed1475 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Here's Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (and Sonata #2) beging played on a Coleco ADAM using VideoTunes software. As mentioned in post #2 it's in ADAM (and Colecovision Gyruss). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wa6MFpgVVk Edited May 3, 2011 by ed1475 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 VideoTunes was really an amazing piece of software, especially considering it was developed circa 1984 when not a lot of tech info was available about the ADAM. It's unfortunate that it took nearly 5 more years before a SmartBASIC player for VideoTunes songs was written by Chris Braymen, who also developed a tremendous MIDI Interface for the ADAM called the MIDI-Mite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColecoFan1981 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 The "Can Can" dance song was also heard in Root Beer Tapper (1984), heard both when the girls dance after the soda jerk collects the tips and during the bonus round where you guess which one of the six cans of root beer is unshaken.

kelrodjr Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Stern's Frenzy has elements from Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. Compare the background music at 0:20 from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhAeeFtfkmA ...with the music at 2:38 in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf0e_n49dcQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelboy Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I know Pepper II has a lot of tunes popularized by Disney. I don't have time to identify them however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoFan1981 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) I know Pepper II has a lot of tunes popularized by Disney. I don't have time to identify them however. The main title music (that you hear on the player get ready screen), though, is the Alfred Hitchcock Presents theme. Within the game, one of the tunes you're referring to is "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah." ~Ben Edited May 4, 2015 by ColecoFan1981 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PkK Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Ȼi̅x̅ has three sonatas by Giuseppe Domenico Scarlatti. Some of my other games, such as Bankruptcy Builder have music by Bach. My workflow is transcribe the music into abc from old sheets. From the abc source I can then create pdf sheets (using abcm2ps and ps2pdf) and data for the ColecoVision (using abc2cvm). Philipp P.S.: I attached the pdf for the music in Ȼi̅x̅. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
