Developer Message

Matt Furniss makes an appearance again in the sample text for the game's title music:

by matt furniss

oh look at all these
blank samples - there
is enough room to say
hi to mick and john
from sheffield - and
that i am sorry this
music sounds like
uncle art did it -
it just a conversion
give me a break

by the way phyco fox
is just the best game
ever written for the
good old sega system
i am totally addicted
to it - its mega

The game referenced is Psycho Fox for the Master System. Uncle Art refers to David Lowe, a prolific music arranger for home computers.

For context, Uncle Art's distinctive style for the Amiga included low fidelity looped samples that often clashed with the high quality drum samples that drowned out the rest of the music. This is in contrast to his usage of pre-recorded intro songs, which worsened the musical clash for some of his games including Sega conversions.
