Born 1968-12-20
Birth Place Gorgonzola, Milan, Italy
Nationality Italian   Italy.svg

Paolo Galimberti is an Italian programmer and former video game artist.

He started programming in BASIC and machine language on the Commodore VIC-20 to make "his ideal" game. In May 1986, he was searching for Commodore 64 software. He read MCmicrocomputer magazine and their "School of videogame" section. In the October 1988 and March 1989 issues, he described a faster sort method and released a flip-screen level editor.

After maturità, he finished MoonShadow (C64), sold it to Idea and got hired as a programmer and musician. He stated that he earned very little, but made most revenue by taking only two weeks for a soundtrack.

In the early 1990s, he liked fantasy books, science fiction books, guitar, heavy metal (especially Manowar), The Sacred Armour of Antiriad, fantasy RPGs (most specifically, Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar), Archon, The Great Giana Sisters, Salamander, cute platformers like Creatures and Rodland, and Turrican 1 and 2 on both C64 and Amiga. He disliked house music and ninja games.

Over the years, he gradually moved from multimedia to business software. Since May 2018, he is a chief technology officer (CTO) in online marketing.

Audio Development

Amiga

Galimberti arranged in StarTrekker.

According to Computer+Videogiochi N.12, he voiced the cuckoo in Clik Clak (AMI).

Commodore 64

Galimberti arranged in RoMuzak V6.3 and The Sound FX Kit. All instruments (except for a few on F1 GP Circuits (C64)) and all sound effects are custom-made.

According to HVSC, he commented on YouTube that he arranged with a 6581 chip. Most songs sound indeed best on 6581, except that Clik Clak (C64) clicks on the 6581 and sounds best on the 8580 instead.

DOS

Galimberti probably arranged in Visual Composer. All instruments are by Ad Lib and all songs are in their MDI format.
