Ayako Mori was one of the first composers to work for Capcom when the company began in 1984. She worked for Capcom for two more years until 1986. She left Capcom after composing Ghosts 'n Goblins, possibly because of the fact she was unhappy with the way Capcom treated their sound staff. Her arcade music was ported to several early NES games.
Audio Development
ARC
As was typical of arcade games at the time, Ayako had to write her music in assembly language, initially using two AY-3-8910 chips, and later YM2203 chips.
NES
For Ghosts 'N Goblins, Ayako wrote the music in 6502 assembly using a sound driver by Yoshihiro Sakaguchi.
