Highlander (CPC)
Highlander | ||||||
|
Highlander is action game, loosely based on the movie of the same name.
The game looks like C64 and ZXS versions.
The game is really awful. The action of it is too primitive even for 1986, the music is truly bad.

Music
The game features only a single song that repeating in the entire game, A Kind of Magic. Although the song wasn't featured in Highlander, some of the lyrics are heard, and it was heard in Highlander II: The Quickening and the TV series too. Unlike the Commodore version, this is very crappy - even the YM2149 chip could make it better.

Game Rip
The game use AY files. But as the archives of them doesn't contain it for this game, and ripping AYs is very difficult, it was logged in YM with WinApe from the game.
The actual recording was made from the game by recording it to WAV and convertiong to OGG.
Ripping of Amstrad CPC music is very ardious process so it's beyond the scope of this site.
Audio Devices
The game use YM3149 chip for music. Sad, but the game didn't use the full capacity of it.
