Hi!
We have the rip in HVSC, but it's set as "unknown". So I guess the game didn't state the author. |

I looked in my tape collection - the instructions just say "Created by Al Lowe and the Disney team" - sorry. I even searched through memory and there is no list of names. (I did notice the scrolltext from the tape loader - mine is a tape copy saved to disk with Super Snapshot - and it's back to front!) |

maybe the tune is done by the coder of the game, like it's been done often 'back then' .. but funny that you mention it, because i really adore the ingame tunes aswell. |

Yeah, that probably is the case with a lot of tunes in /GAMES. Still, as long as we don't have proof or at least a significantly strong guess we won't change the credits.
Those tunes from Donald Duck are actually pretty awesome for that time, the instrument preset is really well done! |

There was a series of educational games from Sierra/Disney/US Gold back then - Donald Ducks' Playground, Winnie the Pooh in the Hundred Acre Wood, a Mickey Mouse title and Gonzo in Wordrider. As far as I know it was the same crew who did them all.
Does Al Lowe have any other music credits? |

According to this Al Lowe discography (http://www.allowe.com/al-games.htm) he made the music for Donald Duck's Playground (1986 Donald Ducks Playground - Design, writing, music & programming). He made also a few other gametunes aswell, probably most known is Leisure Suit Larry 1 theme. |

He should probably get place in celebrity directory so retro users can start new fresh threads of obsessive sid music talks... ;-) Anwyay yeah music is very precisely done and the sounds clear and cute. Thumbs up Al ;-) |
