Music
During 2 minutes of loading, you can play Invade-a-load (C64) and listen to a ripped Rob Hubbard song. Afterwards, the main menu appears with a sound effect. To turn the music on, you have to "wear the personal stereo" in-game. David Whittaker did a good job, writing the music in assembly. However, his 2-voice sound effects cannot be turned off and constantly drown out the bass and melody. Only the sound effects for casting a spell and colliding with bats are outside Whittaker's driver and emulate the ZX Spectrum's buzzer on the 4th voice. On the game-over window, the music is unworn.
Recording
Invade-a-load was recorded from a real PAL C64C with an 8580 R5 4091.
