Games


Music Development

C64

At first, Special FX's titles were composed by Fred Gray and therefore used his own driver. It later used Ocean Software's sound driver.

GB/NES

Special FX used Jonathan Dunn's sound driver, as most of their games were published by Ocean. To create music on Jonathan Dunn's NES and Game Boy sound driver, music and sound effects had to be written in 6502 and Z80 assembly respectively.
