Move Out (C64)

Move Out

Platform: Commodore 64 Year: 1991 Developer: Cyberstyle

Move Out is a simple clone of Sokoban with green teleporters. It was developed in 1990 by Cyberstyle (C S) and sold to Double Density (2D), an employee of CP Verlag which published it on Magic Disk 64 magazine in early 1991.

According to the publisher's manual, the latest Magic Disk is ready for delivery, and your forklift has to push each of the heavy wooden boxes into one of the red freight elevators. After level 45 (built-in) or 49 (self-made), it's level 00 again. However, as readers wrote within months, level 04 is unsolvable.

The main menu. Try F1 to F5. Flip every 10 seconds. Game start. Make no mistake, or tap SPACE. Eighth SPACE. Game over. My level is solvable!

Music

Cyberstyle's musician, and the game programmer's big brother, Rudolf Stember, composed two songs at 125 BPM in the keys of C, D, and E. As usual, he arranged using Soundmaster v3.1 and slightly modified its example rhythm instruments. The nine melodic instruments are unique to Move Out. There are no sound effects.

Recording

The music was recorded from the game:

1. in VICE 3.10 with C64 PAL and a bias of 10, where Stember's music arguably sounds best.

Recordings for 8580 and other biases can be made if found common and different enough. Each song was played 10 seconds longer and faded out.

Audio Devices

Music plays on the computer's built-in SID chip. The bassline sounds different on every machine because it uses SID's unstable low-pass filter.

An official NTSC release is unlikely.
