Master Phruby Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 What is the name of the song being played in the game Bobby is Going Home? It sounds like a church song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 It is "What a Friend We Have in Jesus". So yep, a classic hymn. I always found it a little funny that they used that particular tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I wonder if that game was programmed for some Christian organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dino Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I wonder if that game was programmed for some Christian organization. There's a thread started before on this topic. some of the other bitcorp titles too had christian based music. Most likely they were all programed by the same Taiwanese chap who was christian.

purduecrum Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I'm pretty sure if I ever get around to writing a 2600 game that I'm going to use a Mighty Fortress somewhere in the game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Just think it was like "public domain" music to them, stuff they didn't have to pay for but was already composed so all they had to do was program it in the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
