Additional credit for Flying Shark

Post by Gears of Games »

Noticed that Steve Turner is missing in ZXDB credits for Flying Shark (https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/1 ... ying_Shark). He made the music according to one of the title screens (attached).

Hearing that tune again... why did Steve not sue Culture Beat for ripping off his bass line in Mr Vain six years later?

Thanks Gears!
I wonder why Gavin Wade and Drew Northcott are listed there? Northcott was a loading screen artist, but not sure about Wade. The loading screen is signed PIP+PAVL to make things more confusing.
I can track those names from the old WOS, so, they were there for a while.

Or Snap's Rhythm Is A Dancer, five years later? I'm sure we'd be able to find some old Eurodance tune from before 1987 that uses that bassline, it's pretty common.
