After tuning in to the radio, you'll have the opportunity to record the game onto your tape. Then, you can play it on your Spectrum and dive right into the gaming experience!
It's been a while so here's some chiptune music I wrote (and finished my last stream on Twitch). It's for my in-progress Mega Man fan game thingy I'm doing. Say hello to Blacksmith Woman's stage! I hope you enjoy!
This past weekend, we stopped at a tiny arcade at the hotel I stayed at with the family. They have one of the two greatest arcade games of all time - Ms. Pac-Man and Mortal Kombat II.
Don't argue with me...that's totally a fact.
Regardless, as the main screens cycled through I took this picture. There was a screen that showed up with details on how to order the soundtrack as well as two different Mortal Kombat comic books back when this dropped in 1993.
I wonder...do you think that's still valid? And if not, do you think there's folks out there who still have copies of these comics / the CD? Cause...I kind of want them.
Also, who stood around in an arcade in 1993 with a pen and paper to write down all this information? Cause I want to meet those people too...
You'll not find a bigger defender of soundfonts than me. So of course I made one.
DSINK GM 32K is a GM-compatible* soundfont in which every sample is sampled at 32khz and the entire sf2 fits neatly inside 32 MB. It's inspired by old game consoles which needed to use sample-based sequenced music such as the SNES and Nintendo DS.
I can't put it on any distribution sites for legal concerns, but nevertheless you can download it here: https://dafor.link/soundfont.html
