Rent A Cop has been cracked! Laxity added unlimited lives, hi-score saver, and so on. And they released it the same day. Good work. d0Odz!

The C64 cracking scene is perhaps even more obscure than the demoscene. Alive and kicking, and really difficult to understand for outsiders. But they still strugge to get releases out first, and score the best points in the charts. Laxity has cracked more than 100 games – only in 2012!

Too bad they didn’t fix the bugs in the sound effects while they were at it. Actually, would be nice with a cracker group specialized in music. They would Open and Improve music, just like they do with games. Plenty of music could use a good crack.

Achim Volkers made Rent A Cop for the RGCD competition, with music and sfx by me. The gameplay is a remix of Keystone Kapers for Atari, and all of it fits into 16 kilobytes.

I tried to make something inbetween Dirty Harry suspense and monotonous acid. So it’s Acid Police! The jingles are sort of mysteriously rhodesey, and the hi-score tune sounds a bit like soft 90’s electronica. I’m quite happy with the results!

Nevertheless, there will be another version out soon. Larger than 16 kilobytes, so I can add more sound effects. And btw, the picture is not in this version of the game. Don’t be fooled! Fight crime! Live the law!

If you have a dance pad for C64 you can now dance to my music, thanks to Hardsync by the data-maestro lft.

There’s not so many songs in this first version, but my song Blox is in “pretty good” company. It’s in 188 bpm, so bring out that gabber footwork and make a happy dance!

Pingo asked me to make music for Evil Wizard 2. We’ve worked before on e.g Italo Disco (2002) and I actually made a song for his movie last year.

This is a rather straight-forward killer game, made in shoot ’em up construction kit. So I wanted to make a turbo action song inbetween Ghosts n’ Goblins and Axl Rose and DJ Assault. Hope I got away with it.

I’ve got some songs in Tracker Hero – an Amiga version of Guitar Hero. It uses Amiga MOD-music instead of boring crap. With an adapter you can plug in Playstation-controllers aswell. Rock on rock off! It’s still beta, but who isn’t? Here’s a video that’s one year old, but shows this off rather nicely, hehe. Btw, if you like this kind of lo-fi music, check out radio mazemod or you can download a few hundred of my Amiga tunes here …

“You are one little thought trying to escape from the plafyl mind.” From Qixen-P comes a small webgame that uses my music (if you can tell where it’s from, you win a prize). It’s frustrating and weird, ie perfect. Play it
