Tracker Hero is a musical game for the Amiga that uses MOD song files.
It can be played with keyboard, Joystick or Guitar (Using Paul Willingham’s PS2
to Amiga adapter). Using this adaptor it should be playable with dance mat’s
too.
It has been developed on an Amiga 1200 and WinUAE using Amiblitz2, Personal
Paint, Protracker and some other tools.
It is still on Beta and therefore contains some bugs.

Nashville musician Eric W. Brown (aka Rainbowdragoneyes) talks about his renewed love for chiptunes after a rock solid performance at Blipfest 2009, as well as discusses his Power-Metal-meets-Eurobeat project MAGIC HAMMER.
Make sure you check out his most recent track RAPE CASTLE, a monumental edifice of sinful chiptune pleasure. You’ve never heard anything quite like this!
A new version is now available:
The main new things in v1.03 are:-
* Full support for Shiru’s awesome Phaser1 beeper engine (with either digital sampled drums, or synthesised drums), full 5 octave range with no detuning issues, up to 100 configurable instruments, etc.
* Song data and player routines are now fully split from one another to allow a single copy of the player routine to easily support multiple songs (see the online help via the Help menu) in games.
* Tied-in with the above, there are various “Save Song Data only…” options available in Compile Song dialog.
* New Phaser1 demo song, and an excellent SpecialFX demo song by 4mat (insane use of sustain messages to control the sound volume – have a listen).
* Cleaned up the user interface and added a toolbar.
* Bugs fixed, some minor feature requests added, blah blah.
As always – please let me know if it’s broken in any way. smile
