The alias of "Crwth" is currently unknown. We contacted Antony Crowther, but he denied working on the game, as he never programmed for the Amstrad CPC. A developer at Ocean has speculated that it could have been Fred Gray. We contacted Fred Gray, who said it wasn't him.
Game Rip
The game's music was logged to YM format using WinAPE, however a proper AY rip should be made. The recording was made by converting the YM to WAV and then to OGG.
Ripping of Amstrad CPC music is very arduous process so it's beyond the scope of this site.
Audio Devices
The game use AY-3-8912 chip for music, though it doesn't take advantage of the chips full capacity.
