The Commodore 64 version’s theme, a “funky” version of the arcade music, was created in less than 12 hours by Rob Hubbard, “[I] started working on it late at night, and worked on it through the night. I took one listen to the original arcade version and started working on the C64 version. […] By the time everyone arrived at 8.00 in the morning, I had loaded the main tune on every C64 in the building! I got my cheque and was on a train home by 10.00”. The music has become well known among Commodore 64 enthusiasts and is available from the HVSC.
