So out of curiosity I booted that game up in Stella (you name it I got it). If it wasn't obvious from the video, that horrible...what i can only describe as grinding noise is the sound your dude makes when he walks. The music itself...well...its not good by any definition of the word but for an atari game to have music is impressive.
But the video and sound seems likely sped up.
How did we go from sonic to talking about this again? XD
