2 fast 4 u - MS-DOS game
« on: September 28, 2010, 12:04:24 »
Hey,

 Someone sent me this old MS-DOS game "2 Fast 4 U", coded by Arjan Brussee (yes !). In there, all the musics are Screamtracker 3 stored as is. Nothing fancy to do to get them .. heh. However, they come uncredited. I've searched for quite some time around the web, but there's apparently nothing to be found. Inside the game, I've found that the replay was coded by Markus Stein (another quite popular coder's name !), but nothing about the musics. Said musics have no useful information either.
 I guess I'll post the musics under the "unknown composer" tag. If anyone comes up with more insight, please, share :).

Sylvain

PS: Arjan has both a Facebook account and a Linkedin account. If anyone could drop him a mail ... heh. The game is from 1995.

According to http://www.mirsoft.info/gmb/music_info.php?id_ele=MTMyNjk=

they were composed by Markus Stein, if its the same game, but were removed because the s3m' were unplayable, but maybe the replayer was coded by him as you said and they assumed he wrote them.

I did have a look at Arjan Brussee on the net but they didnt list 2 Fast 4 U as one of the credits he worked on.  :'(

I don't know about the linkedin account but I'm afraid the FB page mentioning Arjan Brussee is not his personal one, it is just an automatically created page..

Thanks for replying :)
Ok, about Facebook, too bad. Was worth a try.
Regarding the credits, I'm sure of it as they come from the setup program inside the game. I also know that this game isn't listed as an Arjan Brussee game. Still, I'm sure about that one :). Now, Markus Stein making musics ... hum .. rather doubtful. He's far more well known for his (outstanding) coding skill and productions than anything else. Markus name is displayed in various binaries inside the game as the author of SPlay, the replay used by the game.

Anyway, the musics are now online. Search the musics "(2 fast 4 u)" or the composer "Unknown Composers" or simply in today's addition :).
