Raiu Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Sort of an odd question as my first post here. Does anyone know who the music programmer for the Last Starfighter game was? More specifically, did he also work on the G.I. Joe game for the Commodore 64? I ask because the music from the intro screen of The Last Starfighter is identical to the music from the map screen of G.I. Joe, and I'm kinda curious how music from an unreleased Atari prototype wound up in an Epyx computer game. -DS- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiu Posted July 10, 2005 Author Share Posted July 10, 2005 The Atari Protos page says that Robert Vieira worked on the sound, but I can't find anything indicating that Robert Vieira ever worked for Epyx. Also, just because he programmed the sound doesn't necessarily mean he composed the music. It's a start, though. -DS- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Robert Vieira did the music as well (I shoud update that to say 'sounds & music'). I have no idea if he worked for Epyx or not. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman2000 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Robert did in fact work for Epyx after Atari. He reused the music from the Last starfighter in the GI Joe game. He did that because Atari told him that game was canceled and he didn't want the music to go to waste. There is another tune he used in Gremlins that was also used in another game. Can you name it?
