Yepp, you recognized it. I am definetly to lazy to translate the whole previous (German only) posting. Therefore I decided to only pick out a quote of mine, which is quite a good transition. A great sound pioneer, Richard Joseph has passed away. I’m quite sure, that hardly anyone knew this name before this post, me neither. More important than remembering his name only, is thinking and listening to his tremendous art, as he was a composer. In addition he achieved groundbreaking advances in music and sound technology (like including „real voices“ in Mega Lo Mania).

But instead of only praising his work, I think people should know on which games Richard has worked on. According to Mirsoft amongst others these are :

• Barbarian
• Cannon Fodder
• Cauldron 2
• Defender Of The Crown
• Moonstone
• Speedball 2
