MD201703 - The Bat-Tro

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na, BATMAN!!!

Cosine has released 'MD201703' otherwise know as 'The Bat-Tro'.  This one file C64 demo features my cover of the music from the first level of Batman on the SEGA Megadrive, Gotham City Street.


T.M.R explains the existence of the demo:

"After the Batman Group uploaded to the C64 Scene Database a series of wired images from their productions on other platforms, T.M.R was inspired to spend a little time producing a version of the Batman logo in high resolution bitmap. Once it was finished, the idea of making it into an instalment of the Monthly Demo popped up so a scrolling message was added from a prototype with a newly drawn Art Deco character set and aNdy was unceremoniously dragged into the fray to produce the music."

At my request, on the Cosine website T.M.R goes onto explain the slight rough edges to the music and instruments in the tune... I was given a *very* short period of time to complete it!  I didn't have time to spend my customary fortnight just tweaking waveform settings!

The demo can be downloaded from CSDb here or from the Cosine website here...

By downloading directly from this blog, you'll get the demo itself, along with the music SID file and the SNG file that will load into Goattracker so you can see the rough edges for yourself as the notes fly past.  Grab those files here...

If you are so inclined, you can watch and listen to the demo on YouTube.  Hopefully the player appears below, if not click here...
