Richard Joseph + Unexotica

[alexh]

Having just received my Immortal2 CD, I've been re-visiting the music of some of the artists who contributed to the above average Amiga re-mix CD by http:www.Synsoniq.com

Richard Joseph has quite a good coverage in UnExotica, however... there are a few missing titles...

1) Wicked (1989, Binary Vision)
2) International 3D Tennis (1990, Palace)
3) Demoniak (1991, Palace)
4) Voodoo nightmare (1991, Palace)
5) Global Effect (1992, Millenium)
6) Lure of the Temptress (1992, Virgin)
7) Myth (1992, System3)
8) Flight of the Amazon Queen (1995, Renegade)
9) The Chaos Engine 2 (1996, Time Warner)

Is there anything I can do to help get these titles ripped and uploaded??

Cheers

Alex Holland

1) Wicked (1989, Binary Vision)

2) International 3D Tennis (1990, Palace)

Not sure

3) Demoniak (1991, Palace)

4) Voodoo nightmare (1991, Palace)

5) Global Effect (1992, Millenium)

6) Lure of the Temptress (1992, Virgin)

this oen is unsupported format again i think.

7) Myth (1992, System3)

but richard joseph in the lha. Something to be fixed ]

Flight of the Amazon Queen (1995, Renegade)

9) The Chaos Engine 2 (1996, Time Warner)

Ones which are easily ripped will be added soon or you can rip them and send them in. (All contributions are appreciated, but accurate rips from disk are preferred rather than memory dumps)

The others probably need customising or perhaps Don Adans RJP supports some of the other tunes. Im not sure..[/b]

I'll fix the Myth credits as part of the next (and long overdue) update of UnExoticA. Well spotted!

Did you ever get round to updating Richard Joseph's profile?

Ey up!

Did you ever get round to updating Richard Joseph's profile?

Which bit?

His homepage has long since vanished, and he doesn't appear to have his own section at Elixir Studios - if he's still based there...

[alexh]

Which bit?

Richards profile has got a lot better since the last time I looked but tunes from some of his games are still missing from Unexotica or miss credited to other people.

He definately did some of the music to Myth and Lots of other titles such as Voodoo Extreme, Lure of the Temptress, Demoniak, Street Racer, International Tennis thingy.

Didnt he also do the Palace versions of Barbarian 1 & 2?

Also I notice "Brutal Football" should be called "Brutal Sports Football" shouldnt it? Or was that the CD32 name?

Keep up the good work, I for one really appreciate it.

Here's some screen grabs...



That's all I have to go off. If you, or someone else reading this, has the original game manual that states otherwise, I'll be happy to correct this. Bear in mind that sometimes the manuals aren't accurate - see Agony.

...and Lots of other titles such as Voodoo Extreme, Lure of the Temptress, Demoniak, Street Racer, International Tennis thingy.

I'll blitz the Richard Joseph section (I like a challenge), and I'll get back to you with a list of tunes that aren't currently supported by any players.

Also I notice "Brutal Football" should be called "Brutal Sports Football" shouldnt it? Or was that the CD32 name?

Here's some box scans...



We have a policy of naming the game after what it's called on the box, rather than the title screen. I got my fingers burnt when I tried to name L.E.D. Storm as Led Storm after the original arcade title. But that's not what it says on the box!

Keep up the good work, I for one really appreciate it.

Thanks. If you spot anything else with incorrect credits, please let us know.

I've done some digging up, here's the results. BTW, Richard Joseph is credited in the manual as providing the sound effects for Street Racer and Brian Marshall for the music.

Well, it is - but it isn't by Richard Joseph. My bad.

The next update is currently sat waiting for the script to kick in (hint - BuZz)
