┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Colgate sounds ................... Converted to AdLib by Jens-Christian Huus │ ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ │ │ This document was originally created 19/10-1993, but was revised │ │ 5/3-1998 to include up-to-date contact information. │ │ │ │ Hi there - these are the sound effects and music for the game │ │ COLGATE released in 1992 by Silverrock Productions, which most │ │ people recognize for their HUGO games for television. The game │ │ was a typical platform-jump-around-and-shoot type of thing. All │ │ the sound that I made for the game is in this archive. Note that │ │ some of the SFX and the internal speaker music wasn't used in │ │ game because the coder "forgot to put it in" (Hi Kaare!), thus │ │ you can still enjoy some unheard jingles even though you might │ │ already have the game. │ │ │ │ The game was released in three formats; Amiga, C64 and PC. On │ │ the C64 version all music was composed by Thomas Mogensen, which │ │ was converted to AdLib and Amiga. A rather bizarre approach you │ │ might think, but at the time our composer (i.e. Thomas) only had │ │ a Commodore 64 so we had to do it this way. The SFX was done on │ │ the Amiga by Silverrock's own man Thomas Engell, who sampled the │ │ sounds in his studio for use in the Amiga version. Later I got a │ │ copy on tape ready to be converted to programmed AdLib SFX using │ │ the traditional assembler method. At the same time the C64 SFX │ │ was created too, but here I used an editor which made the job a │ │ whole lot easier. On the Amiga the music was converted from the │ │ C64 by Poul-Jesper Olsen, using his own player system. All music │ │ and SFX routines as well as editors on C64 and AdLib was done by │ │ Jens-Christian Huus. │ │ │ │ Note the "COLGATE1" screen. Ugly, isn't it? Well, we all have to │ │ start somewhere - the picture was drawn in a couple of minutes │ │ using the built-in font and smoothing abilities of the painting │ │ program I used at the time. │ │ │ │ │ │ THE AUTHOR │ │ ────────── │ │ │ │ Jch / Vibrants │ │ │ │ Jens-Christian Huus │ │ Vangede Bygade 46 st mf │ │ 2820 Gentofte │ │ Denmark │ │ │ │ Email: jchuus@post8.tele.dk │ │ │ │ │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
