Rambo First Blood Part II containing Galway editor.
"If anyone has the original C64 Rambo game, load, reset, SYS 49192 to see Martin Galway's music editor. Should it be there? No. Is it there, yes. Why? I left it in...."
Got this comment from S W Dunlewy at C64.sk Facebook page. Can anyone confirm? It's new information for me ;-) |

If anything, i'd expect that kind of thing in the loading picture + music code (like Silver Dream suggested), which only exists in the tape version. In addition to Zyron's point, that kind of thing would needlessly increase loading times and tape footage. (Didn't find anything suspicious in the TAP of the original.)
But who is "S W Dunlewy", anyways? The game was programmed by "Tony, Dave, Bill, Martin" as stated in the hi-scores. These are probably Tony Pomfret, David Collier, Bill Barna and Martin Galway (according to the morse code in the loading tune). |

Sean Dunlevy is mainly a Gameboy Advance Guy (He is in constant contact with me) posting stuff even on my FB profile page quite often. (ADPCM info etc) He did claim to have coded Tetris on the C64 way back in the 80's.. |

Suspicious. =) Also "SYS 49192" (rather than 49152) isn't quite "standard". |

This is probably him.

This is what he said"
" Yes - I'm from Manchester so I saw a lot of Ocean. I just told the coder that he should just 'save all RAM over $0400.... and he did.
BUT the best find at Ocean was - I stole a devkt, Their C64 devkit was a C128... and I used it.
It's odd that people who wern't there finding it intersting..... we lived BIG poverty for years, just to get a job.
BTW look up mu nme. I coded a lot."
This or that seems like Galway's editor didn't get to the final "press". |

"S W Dunlewy"
"Sean Dunlevy"
- or whatever his name is. To me, he sounds like someone is having fun getting attention on spreading false information.
As far as I know, Galway never had an "editor" as such. He composed on other platforms and then he and the coders spend time translating his notes into something that could play on the C64. Thats, as far as I have been told. I am sure a lot of SID musicians can tell the story in more details than me. |

On a Rambo/Ocean side note.. many moons ago i was out shopping on a Saturday, on Portobello Road, market, which i did most Saturdays, as it was an excuse to drink, eat street food, and pick up bootleg music tapes (this was pre_internet era times) along with some vinyl music. Among the stuff for sale, i spotted a cassette, with a white and blue Ocean label on it, written in ink, was the word Rambo. It picked it up, if only to discover what was on the tape? could it be the whole game? ..on returning home i tried it on my C64 and no luck. I tried it on my ZX Spectrum and bingo! it was not the game, but a screen shot of how the game looked in game. I can only assume it was something Ocean sent out to magazines to use. How it came to be in the hands of a market seller remains mystery?
Sadly, i do not own the tape anymore. I am always loosing stuff when moving house. Believe it or not, i managed to loose a Commodore monitor on one occasion.. |
