 yeah I think that was the standard Ocean loader or something .. 
 I'll probably get blasted for continuing this thread but .. a fairly 
 oldd EDGE interview with Rob Hubbard stressed the importance of 
 game music , and how the restrictions of the 64 sid chip really 
 produced some of the most interesting tunes done in the history 
 of games .. 3 channels with a few filter effects etc. can go 
 pretty far :) IMO this reasoning is relevant to music made today .. 
 I for one know that I feel much more comfortable at home with my 
 laughable setup , than at my universities mega studio . oh well , 
 couldn't let the monthly c64 thread go by without comment :)
