Martin Galway has a music legacy in Commodore 64 game history that is only surpassed by Rob Hubbard. Although its certainly fair to say that Hubbard’s music tended to be a lot more varied and Galway’s a bit too similar – this does not change the fact, that what Galway did with C64 music was to give a competitive alternative to Hubbard and certainly put C64 music way ahead of other home computers at the time. Also, Galway’s Rambo suite of music is simply amazing and it compares favourably with the very best of Hubbard’s work. Personally, I rate Rambo as one of the finest examples of home computer music ever produced. | |
