Blok Copy

Along with 'DYCP 2018', Cosine has released Blok Copy for Atari 8bit.  This game has appeared on various formats over the years.  For the Atari version, T.M.R asked me to cover the tune 'Sporting Chance' by Odie/Cosine, the music which has been used for all of the different versions, apart from the PETSCII version.


This Atari version of 'Blok Copy'  was a contribution to the 'New Years Disk' collection arranged on the AtariAge forum.  I covered the music using the excellent RASTER Music Tracker and is one of my first POKEY's. 

The game containing the music can be downloaded from the Cosine website here...

DYCP 2018

Along with 'Blok Copy' for Atari 8bit, Cosine has released an Atari 8bit demo called 'DYCP 2018', a contribution to the 'New Years Disk' collection arranged on the AtariAge forum.  Don't be fooled by the C64 boot screen in the image below - it's actually an Atari posing as a C64!


The music is a 'triple speed' tune and was written by me using the excellent RASTER Music Tracker; it is one of my first POKEY's, along with the music from the Atari 8bit version of Blok Copy.

The music is actually a cover of a cover of an original track by Jason Page (the loading music from the amazing Amiga game 'Uridium 2' by Andrew Braybrook).  I covered this tune on the C64 SID back in 2015 for the 'SID Doing Paula' music collection and the POKEY version is a cover of this SID version.

The demo containing the music can be downloaded from the Cosine website here...
