The Adventures of Dr. Franken

Platform: NES Year: 1993 Developer: Cygnus

The Adventures of Dr. Franken was an unreleased video game developed by Elite (under the name Cygnus.) The player takes the role of Dr. Franken who must find body parts of his girlfriend scattered all over the mansion to attempt to resurrect her. This game is not a good one, the graphics are bad, the controls are awful and the ending isn't even worth your troubles.

The game was programmed by Mark Crane with graphics by David Percival and audio by Mark Cooksey.

Music

There are only two songs in the game; one that plays at the title and another that plays all throughout the game. Both songs are real pieces of music originally composed by Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven. The title song is Prelude and Fugue in C Minor and the in-game song is Moonlight Sonata. Both songs, especially the in-game music are very long songs, and since the game can be completed in a short amount of time, the music doesn't get old that easily. The music was composed in Notator for the Atari ST. The GameBoy version uses the same music.

Since the game lacks credits, we have contacted Mark Cooksey about composing this game's soundtrack since he is the only known composer at Elite and he has verified that he is the composer.
