AMS anyone?

Post by robcfg »

Hi, folks!

A friend of mine pointed me to a commando-style game named "Fire Force". What it's truly amazing is the nice music. In the menu screen it says "Music Composed and Written by Chris Jolly using AMS".

I would be interested in knowing more about that AMS thing, does anyone know about it?

I've attached the zipped game for convenience.

Regards,
Rob

That music is pretty neat - sadly the nicest thing I can generally find to say about the game ;)

Thought DAMS was in the archive, but I don't see it. Here: http://www.6809.org.uk/tmp/da/dams.cas

CLOADM and EXEC for the editor, to try the demo, select <E> load music from tape, and load DEMTEXT, then <G> load waves from tape and load DEMWAVE. Set tempo to 40 with <C> (left/right, then break to stop), then play with <D>.

Beyond that, I forget :) Oddly enough, it never magically granted me any musical ability!

Edit: for more examples of Chris Jolly's music, there's Superkid, and also Skyrider on the Atari ST.

Thank you very much!

I'll give it a try, as I told earlier, I was quite surprised to hear such a decent tune.

I guess there is no bad machine, only bad programmers, hehehe :mrgreen:
