Sinclair Game - Chiptune B-Side

Post by RoseTintedSpectrum »

Hello folks,

I'm currently trying to find a track from my past that appeared on the B-Side of a game. I have absolutely no idea what the game was, so at this point, I'm just asking for suggestions as to what game it might have been so I can go and listen. If anyone knows of any B-Side tracks on games, that'd be fantastic.

These are the games I know it isn't:

Confuzion
None of the Automata games
720
Skate or Die

Some detail:
It was a relatively dark chiptune, in my head, there was a lead solo that introduced the track (think metal/rock solo of a wailing guitar) in chiptune format. It may or may not have also had lightning/thunder style sound effects going on. Memory is hazy on that.

I've had this stuck in my head for 30 years now and I've never found out what it was. Any help is much appreciated.

By chiptune, do you mean a track that was made on the Spectrum itself, or using some other sound chip?

These games had bonus soundtracks, although they don't really count as chiptune music.

Sounds like the Gemini Wing soundtrack from the Sinclair User 92 covertape.
