I'm 38 this year and certainly do know those two words! Wow I feel so lucky to have been the first generation of computer gamers, truly exciting and magical times the 1980s!
Atari twangy metallic BRILLIANCE - big salute to ROB HUBBARD for such an amazing tune on a very old platform - brings back soooo many memories of my teenage years . . .
The part from 3:54 is my favorite and I have it in my head since I was like 4 years old. My cousin had Atari800 and we had ZX48. Beeper in our ZX48 was so inferior... :D
You´ve got it! I played it for a hundrets of time for sure. I never finished it. Jumping forward by using the joystick was quit difficult. But that tune is Grade-A-Stuff!
This game was (and IS) legendary! Thankyou for the blast from the past... However because I grew up in Africa I didn't have the Atari version, I had the Spectrum version.. None the less, still EPIC at it's best :) DEFINITE plus +1 from me :)
This is actually incredible! I never thought id say this but this knocks the SID chip in the commodore 64 for 6! Not all atari 8 it computer games sound anywhere near this good though...
What an absolute tune! Had no idea Rob Hubbard made this for the Atari,I've never heard this until now and I've been playing it non stop since,this may well be my favorite Hubbard soundtrack now!
Brilliant track - along with Warhawk some of Mr Hubbard's best. Use to wait the 15 minutes to load this from tape just to hear the music. How could they screw up the game conversion that bad though? The most iconic brit game of the 80s!
This is amazing, even more so it was done by an old Atari computer sound chip. I honestly did not know it would be capable of something with so much range.
For sure, I hear it so often, now that it is on UA-cam. I didn´t play that game for 19 years or something, but when I listen to this fantastic sound it is like yesterday.
@ZXRulezzz Home computer games in the early '80s were essentially made by 18-year-olds in their parents' basements. It was all shoestring and DIY back then, and the package art was whatever twisted stuff they could conjure out of their heads. It was a very strong indie scene in those days, which laid the groundwork for the videogame industry today. Lots of indie computer games had wild & crazy covers. Why? Because the kids could get away with it, that's why. Good times.
I had Atari 800XL when I was a kid, I loved a lot of 8 bit musics in games. Development teams were small and they did great music! Why current games does not have that catchy music?
I think he meant specifically for the Atari 8bit. Warhawk and International Karate soundtracks were multi platform. Albeit the Atari versions were, in my opinion,better than the C64 versions☺️ Definitely is a shame Rob didn't do more. Extirpator was not coded by Rob, would have been great if he actually did do Sanxion on the atari.
some people said that atari XE computers didnt have the music capability, this proved the critics all wrong. listen to this and you cant deny the atari's music capability. I used to have Atari 130XE, and did have almost everysingle game on atari. sadly though, some of the great games had it on Atari tape player, and some of them did work, and some of them didnt, because of the atari's lousy tape player.
The MSX version is one of the few versions that isn't broken. The Spectrum, Commodore 64 and BBC versions all have bugs in them making them impossible to complete without a bug fix.
This is actually the reason I'm on this page; I'm listening to Equinoxe and suddenly realised, at the grand old age of 49, how much this reminded of the JSW theme tune from my childhood (Back then, at 15, we were still children, not young adults). It only took me 34 years to make the connection.
It's groovy. Can you hear these drums? Amazing! It was only at Atari's version. C64 bet on spooky music. Game is dull too hard even for immortals... But music is a masterpiece.
Wonderful piece of music, incredibly crappy version of the game. Atari was capable of doing much better and really should have. Would have been quite easy to have ported over the Speccy or C64 version and added this gorgeous tune to it.
@direct2brain big Jarre fan here. huge. you know what? I just listened to his early stuff (deserted palace) and got so depressed by what I heard, I came straight here! I know this is muuuuch newer than Jarre`s early stuff, but 100 times better too!
i got jet set willy for pc free from somewhere on the net (Do a search) and it has all the old 8 bit versions of the music including this one. the music files were in XM format and could be played seperately with something like rainbow player or XM player.
@ZXRulezzz there is a big story to this and it's part of a series basically you struck it rich in the mining business so you throw a grand party in your mansion and totally trash the place now your a drunk miner who's practically wasted with an angry housekeeper who wont let you sleep till you clean the whole house because she's tired of doing the work for you. so you have to find everything clean and go to bed.
Played this game just to listen to this awesome tune! BTW, did anybody ever finish this game? I remember how difficult it was to control the jumps by using a Joystick. and sometimes you lost all your lifes within seconds, just becouse you fell directly on a rotating jar while entering the next room, hit by a toaster or maby just stomped by a oversize shoe.
On tape you had to load that game about 15 minutes. I played that game so often but I never finished that game. It was very difficult to jump forward by using a joystick.
Interesting comment, someone here also mentioned a Depeche Mode tune. I guess that a lot of the early new wave were very similar at the beginning of the 80's (OMD, Depeche Mode, Eurythmics, etc.), with that way for instance of not using chords. This track is from 1984, so after Eurythmics. Still, i think that Hubbard mentioned Jean-Michel Jarre as an inspiration for this tune. The references of Zoolookogie (first part of the melody is kind of a half rip-off, playing aroung the original without completely copying it) and Equinoxe 5 are quite obvious.

I love my Atari 800XL !!!
i have a brand new one and i love it too

me too! it is exciting to tell anyone with the smartphone that, actually, you have made the same voyage before
Happy 50th.
This is an incredible track, quite easily among my favourite 8-bit tunes of all time.
Best Rob Hubbard tune ever imho - remember listening to this in the 80s
Super muzyczka normalnie przenosi mnie w czasie jak jej słucham :D
Atari twangy metallic BRILLIANCE - big salute to ROB HUBBARD for such an amazing tune on a very old platform - brings back soooo many memories of my teenage years . . .
Best music in the world. Rob Hubbard was genius !
This piece is best of 8bit music, loved it back in 80's, love it now!
This was one of those games where music was waay better than the actual game. I remember loading the game just so I can listen to the tune.
Man I love vintage stuff, old computers, vintage audio, this song. I recorded this on to one of my vintage reel to reel tapes.
Excellent.....
Perfekcja w każdej nutce.Genialne
tak mało ramu , tak mało czegokolwiek, A SIĘ SŁUCHA
dziennie po kilka razy jej słucham czasem przez pare godzin jestr przejebana ta muzyczka daje tez do myslenia:D
Ach, nieśmiertelne Atari ! Piękne to były czasy... :)
music is the best

Where r u from?
SiD was a superior chip, but with an uninviting tint and to many choke-like artifacts at the lower band.
As a synthesizer was superb though.
You´ve got it! I played it for a hundrets of time for sure. I never finished it. Jumping forward by using the joystick was quit difficult. But that tune is Grade-A-Stuff!
Great and powerful Atari tune. One of the best Atari game songs for me.

Hubbard was "the Beethoven" of the eighties... lol
Beethoven of Atari, just amazing how it was possible with 64 kB
Cezary Kasenberg The music on 8-Bit machines only uses between 5-10KB. Tetris on the C64 is just over 25 mins it only uses 5KB
Whittaker
AMAZING!
to do something like this on a computer with 64 KB of RAM is an absolute genius
This actually took about 5K.

POKEY + Hubbard = win
I had Atari 800XL when I was a kid, I loved a lot of 8 bit musics in games.
Development teams were small and they did great music!
Why current games does not have that catchy music?
Because they tend to use movie style atmospheric crap, and games are more like movies nowadays than good ole classics.
magic
I feel 14yo again, Thanks Rob.
have been looking for this one for like 8 years and found it on accident
JSW, Feud, Goonies and (if i remember right) Draconus - best music and good memories... thanks for sharing man....
cudeńko ;,D
Stare Kurwa dobre cyasz sie pryzpominaj :D
Ah te atari :)))
That's funny. You have to be a certain age to appreciate the words 'Rob Hubbard'! I loved this music at the time, so wierd hearing it now!
This is the only tune Rob Hubbard composed for the Atari 800, its a real shame he didn't do more
Really ?? i never knew that . . . but i was only a kid back then . . .
+Martin Byrne coff Extirpator International Karate and best of all Warhawk.
I think he meant specifically for the Atari 8bit. Warhawk and International Karate soundtracks were multi platform. Albeit the Atari versions were, in my opinion,better than the C64 versions☺️ Definitely is a shame Rob didn't do more. Extirpator was not coded by Rob, would have been great if he actually did do Sanxion on the atari.
Rob. You are the master
some people said that atari XE computers didnt have the music capability, this proved the critics all wrong. listen to this and you cant deny the atari's music capability.

About a decade ago I got to play this game on the MSX toshiba, and I cleared the game. Not many people did it seems...
The MSX version is one of the few versions that isn't broken. The Spectrum, Commodore 64 and BBC versions all have bugs in them making them impossible to complete without a bug fix.
I'm reminded of Jean-Michel Jarre's Equinoxe Part 5.
This is actually the reason I'm on this page; I'm listening to Equinoxe and suddenly realised, at the grand old age of 49, how much this reminded of the JSW theme tune from my childhood (Back then, at 15, we were still children, not young adults). It only took me 34 years to make the connection.
oh my god! That's my era! Born 1981 xD
I like it sooo much :-)

It's groovy. Can you hear these drums? Amazing! It was only at Atari's version. C64 bet on spooky music. Game is dull too hard even for immortals... But music is a masterpiece.

one of my favourite music! its a pity that graphics doesnt keep standard :P, lazy programists :)

This music IS by Rob Hubbard.
i have this music on when i play jet set online :) plus it's my ringtone lol
finally you dit it - thanks!

Actually, this track by Rob Hubbard is heavily influenced by Zoolookogie and Equinoxe 5. Hubbard is an assumed fan of Jarre.
never heard of the game, but the music is great!!
wow
i got jet set willy for pc free from somewhere on the net (Do a search) and it has all the old 8 bit versions of the music including this one. the music files were in XM format and could be played seperately with something like rainbow player or XM player.
Best 8-bit song ever, but the game is unplayable. Only reason to load it up is to hear the song.
