Anyone remember an old Speccy game called Everyone's A Wally (http://www.crashonline.org.uk/14/wally.htm)? It had its own distinctive theme song with the same title on an audio cassette that came with the game. Has anyone heard the song and know where I can get it please?
Cheers.

I think the coolest Speccy theme (yes, I have no life) belonged to Bubble Bobble. The arcade version was even better.

I remember Bubble Bobble at the arcades but it was far to cutesy for me, so I never bought it. I liked the theme to Quazatron (http://www.crashonline.org.uk/29/quazatron.htm) which was quite catchy. It's difficult to consider any speccy game that had 'great music', as they all consisted of "beeps", "bips" and "boops". Reminds me when Robin Of The Wood (http://www.crashonline.org.uk/24/robin.htm) tested the power of the spectrum which had the first recorded speech used on a game. I'd like to know how long it took others to realise the crackling distortion was in fact a voice. It took me a few weeks before I found out, and only after placing my ear right next to the heated casing of my beloved rubber-keyed speccy.
It was when I first played on a C64 that I was blown away by the music. I remember a game called Forbidden Forest (http://www.lemon64.com/?mainurl=http%3A//www.lemon64.com/games/details.php%3FID%3D954), that had appalling graphics, but the grooviest tune when completing a level with a badly pixilated blurb dancing a jig along with it. And all blasting out of the telly!

Cheers Dukesy. I already have a speccy eumlator, and have played a few old games such as Doomdark's Revenge and Avalon. Still playable after all this time. :)
