Title

Hutzelmann's own release spells "GAME ON".

Composition

Hutzelmann arranged the jingle in his then-favorite editor, Soundmaster v3.1. It repeats because Soundmaster does not support stopping.

The bass sounds different on every 6581 chip because it uses SID's unstable low-pass filter. HVSC states that Hutzelmann's music is meant for the more stable 8580 revision. For recording, SPACE was pressed:

1. on a real C64C PAL with an 8580 R5 4091.
2. in VICE 3.9 with C64 PAL and a bias of 80.

In the rip, the jingle is track 2.
