But they DID put Morse Codes in the
sequel, and that was indeed a great game, which luckily wasn't developed by Micronics like the last game.
I'm not sure, we all know how
good the games which are developed by Micornics are, but for some reasons the games they ported to consoles did somewhat play and look
like their arcade counterparts, say, Makaimura, 1942, Exed Exes, Ikari and Commando. The fact that these games were mostly popular and sold well didn't help.
I'm an Apple ][ fan (definitely not a fan on their other products such as the Macs and iSomething though) and I do have a soft spot on Paperboy's music like rainwarrior, though there're still, better stuff on that system. I do like the Rad Gravity theme also.
Odd thing is, while the music in that Winter Games video IS horrible, the PTPTPTPT.... thing at the bottom of the game screen (which I suppose are in the overscan area for most real TV sets) gives me a psychedelic effect that I suddenly find the theme fit the game wonderfully.
