Actually, I think I'm wrong about Monsters; last time I played it I turned
the sound off. I think that just spent ages waiting either after, or before
playing the tune, but the tune itself was OK.

There were games where the duration of some notes got screwed, and became
really long. I suspect they might have been even longer than the maximum
length on a real beeb (254?), so something is going pot.

Well, I'm really glad that Exile now works.

The loading music for DDD was fantastic. So much so that the game which
came after was something of a disappointment!
