INTERNATIONAL 3D TENNIS (c) PALACE SOFTWARE Developer: Sensible Software Authors: Jonathan HARE and Chris YATES Music: Richard JOSEPH Producer: Steve BROWN ★ INFOS: Palace Software : From the Ashes of an Industry Rises a Witch (Amstrad Computer User) Interview of Richard JOSEPH (Joystick magazine) International 3D Tennis's distinctive soundtrack is the work of professional musician Richard Joseph, who's been with Palace for four years. “For Tennis I got quite a simple brief - Sensible wanted the opening and closing Wimbledon music, a bunch of tennis effects and of course an Umpire. For the Umpire's voice I paid a visit to Queen's Tennis Club where John Relf, the Chairman of the Umpire's Association, umpired a pretend match while I recorded it all on a portable DAT (Digital Audio Tape) machine.'' With 3D Tennis out of the way, Richard isn't sure what lies ahead, “I know Palace has got a few games coming up that need 16-bit soundtracks, so I'll probably be doing those. I can t say any more than that, simply because I don't know.” Richard's sonic background is as widespread as it gets. He's been a recording artist at EMI, and has produced countless theme tunes for television over the last few years - everything from the cult kid 's show Chorlton And The Wheelies to, more recently, an assortment of material for BSB's Now Channel. Richard's involvement in computers started in 1986 when he answered an ad from Palace Software in Melody Maker: “I already had'a Yamaha CX5 music computer, and that was fun, so I thought I'd check out what these games were all about,” he explains. Interview of Steve BROWN / Palace Software (A100%) Jonathan HARE: Originally we programmed a volleyball simulation with an overhead view like in Microprose Soccer. Then volleyball became tennis and the overhead view became the 3D perspective, because tennis where you see the court from above is boring. ★ ANNÉE: 1990 ★ LANGAGE: ★ GENRE: INGAME MODE 0 , SPORT , TENNIS , 64&128K , 3D GRAPHICS , SAVEGAME , TAPE , DISK ★ LiCENCE: COMMERCIALE ★ PROTECTIONS: SPEEDLOCK-DISK-V1990 , SPEEDLOCK-TAPE-V1989 ★ RERELEASES: GBH (BUDGET) , ERBE SOFTWARE (SPAIN) Cliquez sur l'image pour voir les différents packages (3).
