Music
The music in Rocket Ranger features an 8-bit conversion of the computer versions' soundtrack composed by Bob Lindstrom. The NES version's music was arranged by Beam Software composer Tania Smith. She did an amazing job since Bob used Sonix for the Amiga and Tania had to program the music using Beam Software's audio driver. The music in the game does not loop.
Since we have obtained some, but not all of the source code to this game, some of the songs have their original song names listed.
