One of Martin Galway's finest hours here, definitely. The game itself was
another instant Dave Collier classic, slick, immensely playable and this I think rubbed
off a fair bit on Galway's compositions. Loading Ocean games at the time usually meant
hearing the over familiar Galway Ocean Loading theme, and for a change it was nice to
actually hear something different. And how. The little morse code beeps at the start make
a good attempt at placing the listener in an uneasy enemy camp type situation, and
throughout the whole melodic theme draws you in WANTING the game to be loaded from tape so
you could play.

Of course, this being a movie tie-in, there were bound to be covers: the
in-game theme was an inspired arrangement by Martin of part of the original Jerry
Goldsmith score. The morse code in the loading music, incidentally, spells out a message
containing the names of the programmers. Please don't ask how I know: I'd have to plead
the sixth amendment, on the grounds that I might prove myself sad...

Lost in a forest with only Martin Galway for company. Oh well, things could be worse...
