You can taste the rush. The dough hadn't risen.
Summary
Martin Galway has released the source code for his Commodore 64 music from 1980s games on GitHub. The repository contains music player source files from classic C64 games, allowing others to study, analyze, reassemble, and modify the music. Galway acquired the rights from Infogrames and notes that tracks like "Wizball" used his 1st Generation player design (1984-mid 1987), while a 2nd Generation player followed. He requests attribution for any derivative works.
