Nick Eastridge is a American composer who was the main composer and sound programmer for Mindscape and The Software Toolworks. Most of the games Nick has been credited on have also credited Peter Stone. Peter says that he never worked with Nick Eastridge and that Nick only converted his MIDI files to the consoles. A great deal of games that he worked on did not have credits. Nick's first work was on Paperboy for the NES, where he had to port the music from the arcade. Eastridge's music consists of mostly jazz or blues. Not only did Nick compose music, but he also programmed the sound drivers at Mindscape. Unfortunately we do not know much about this composer.
