X-Com Apocalypse

x-com



temptation



church goers



X-Com Apocalypse was the third installment in the extremely successful X-Com series. It was also the first of the series to use realtime instead of turn based moves.

Research and use of alien technology was crucial to a player's success.

Music plays an important role in establishing the uncertainty and unpredictability of the alien threat.

ogel island



The Brickster is back and out to cause more mischief in this wild island-hopping sequel.

Lego Island 2, composed with Dave Punshon, used Microsoft's now defunct Direct Music engine. This allowed 8 levels of rather crude music interactivity to be driven by a tiny 4 meg sound bank. These tracks, use the original sounds from the game.

Gangsters 2

night to day



ominous



disaster



Gangsters 2 was Eidos' follow up to their successful 1998 Gangsters game, also scored by Richard with Dave Punshon.  

The music in Gangsters 2 was used to emphasise specific threats and events, which often could not be seen on the normal isometric city view. When you heard one of these stings you knew every car was suddenly a potential drive-by, everyone on the street a possible assassin.

The Bitmap Brothers brilliant anarchic real-time strategy game.

"A brilliant strategy game. A testament to the quality of the game is the fact that people keep fighting over machines to play. Like C&C, only harder, more strategic and more intense" - PC ZONE - 92%
