Here is WIP 4. The "shoot wrong way" bug was fixed. It indeed was an another "from 1p to 2p" bug as Boray suggested (and it exists in the original).

The "computer stands still" bug also happens in the original. I doubt I'll fix that one.

Here is RC1. It now has music. The arena sides have different char gfx. I will wait a few weeks for graphics contributions and bug reports and then release.

Nice! I would suggest adding a little vibrato to the music playback.

I agree that it could use some. The music is converted from a MIDI file by SID2MIDI using and a quickly hacked together tool. At least it uses NMI to toggle some of the notes in attempt to hide that characteristic VIC offtuneness.

Anything livelier would require either manual editing effort of the MIDI file and improving the tool or using a better conversion method. I find neither of these options an attractive use of my time.

Contributions are still welcome!

You could make a tremolo effect with the volume control to simulate the rotating speaker in some old organs. That would be perfect for a hockey game!

Cool idea! I will have to try that.

[edit 2016-11-13]
Tried but failed to make it sound the way I liked. The tremolo attempt code is there if someone wants to tinker with it.
