Music

This is the only TurboGrafx-16 game, which composed by one of Commodore 64 legendary composers, Barry Leitch. Unlike the computer versions, which have only three tracks, this version has more songs. Like in computer versions, Leitch composed his own variation of Rob Hubbard's main theme from Monty on the Run (C64), as well as high score theme from same game.

According to him, he programmed the sound driver and music in assembly with the development team (Alex Davis, Ashley Bennett, and, maybe, Axel Brown). He said about his music work:

“

It was a crazy project. We had to make the music driver from scratch as well as write all the extra tunes for the PCE version over the course of a few days. Most of that was working out what the hardware could do and trying to do some pulse width modulation.
