Music Development

AMI/AST

Philip wrote his Amiga and Atari ST soundtracks in ProTracker. When writing for the Atari ST, he used custom software to convert his Amiga MOD files to the Atari ST's PSG. The instrument samples were taken from various sources, but mostly from Soundtracker.

Gameography

The games that have "Composer?" listed credit Philip Nixon as a graphic designer, whilst not containing any audio credits.

Also, Philip says he did not work on the DOS version of Elvira II. He is credited in the game, although it features new compositions that are different from the Amiga and Atari ST versions. Therefore, the DOS version of Elvira II has been removed from his Gameography. It is believed Jezz Woodroffe composed the music to the DOS version of Elvira II.
