       This document was originally created 19/10-1993, but was revised       
       5/3-1998 to include up-to-date contact information.                    
                                                                              
       Hi there - these  are the sound  effects and  music for the game       
       COLGATE  released in 1992 by  Silverrock Productions, which most       
       people recognize  for their  HUGO games for television. The game       
       was a typical platform-jump-around-and-shoot  type of thing. All       
       the sound that I made for the game is in this archive. Note that       
       some of the  SFX and the  internal speaker music  wasn't used in       
       game because the  coder  "forgot to put it in" (Hi Kaare!), thus       
       you can still enjoy  some unheard  jingles even though you might       
       already have the game.                                                 
                                                                              
       The game was  released in  three formats;  Amiga, C64 and PC. On       
       the C64 version all music was composed by Thomas Mogensen, which       
       was converted to  AdLib and Amiga. A rather bizarre approach you       
       might think, but at the time our composer (i.e. Thomas) only had       
       a Commodore 64 so we had to do it this way. The SFX was  done on       
       the Amiga by Silverrock's own man Thomas Engell, who sampled the       
       sounds in his studio for use in the Amiga version. Later I got a       
       copy on tape ready to be converted to programmed AdLib SFX using       
       the  traditional assembler  method. At the same time the C64 SFX       
       was created too, but here I used an editor which  made the job a       
       whole lot easier. On the Amiga the music was  converted from the       
       C64 by Poul-Jesper Olsen, using his own player system. All music       
       and SFX routines as well as editors on C64 and AdLib was done by       
       Jens-Christian Huus.                                                   
                                                                              
       Note the "COLGATE1" screen. Ugly, isn't it? Well, we all have to       
       start somewhere - the picture  was drawn in a  couple of minutes       
       using the built-in font and smoothing  abilities of the painting       
       program I used at the time.
