Developer: Gray Matter

Dirty Harry (also known as 'Dirty Harry: The War Against Drugs') is a sidescrolling shooter game based on the movie Dirty Harry: The War Against Drugs. The box art is from the movie Dirty Harry: Sudden Impact. The player takes on the role as Harry Callahan (played by Clint Eastwood) who must stop a drug leader from distributing drugs.

Music

Two professional composers Steven Samler and Elliott Delman collaborated to write the music to Dirty Harry. None of the music is from the movie. In the game's credits, Elliott's name is misspelled calling him 'Elliot Delman', however the composers names are on the back of the game's box (which is the only game to do that) and Elliott's name is spelled correctly. Digital Performer was used to compose the soundtrack to Dirty Harry. All the music is written at a tempo of 150 BPM

Besides its music, the game also offers a couple great sound effects from the movie. The first sound effect is in the intro where Harry says, "Go ahead. Make my day." and the second one is used in the ending, making it one of the best NES endings of all time, where Harry says his famous "Do you feel lucky?" lines.

Ripping NES music is a very arduous process that is beyond the scope of this site.

The music in this NSF does not play properly any NSF player except for NSFPlug.
