Antony Paton (also known as Anthony Paton) is an English video game musician. He was the main composer for Rockstar Games's handheld division Tarantula Studios, and as a result, he mostly composed solely for the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance. He started off working for Spidersoft in the mid '90s.
Paton wrote his last video game soundtrack in 2004, and has not been credited in a video game since. His whereabouts are currently unknown.
Audio Development
Game Boy
It is suspected Paton wrote MIDI files and converted them to a Game Boy sound driver. The driver was probably programmed by himself, based on some game credits.
Paton also used real songs in some games. For example, the Character Select music in Grand Theft Auto 2 is actually a Brazilian song known as "Chega De Saudade".
