Rob Hubbard - Golden Days of Computer Game Music (Part 1)
Rob Hubbard, who composed a lot of classic game tunes, especially on the C64 (e.g. Monty on the Run, Commando, Delta, Skate or Die, Crazy Comets and many more), talks about the good old times. Part 1 of 5.

why are people moaning about public speaking? he is an interesting man with stories to tell, i dont need him to pump his fists and shout like a motivational speaker
I didn't come here to hear a great public speaker. I came to listen to a legend.
Thank you Rob for giving us this speech. Still the most detailed and fascinating commentary on the early days of video game business. I was there at the party but sadly missed your presentation! Very much regret it.
Absolute legend. His tunes has become an important part of my childhood. When I hear those old c64 tunes I immediately transport back to the eary 80's.
Rob Hubbard just plain RULEZ.
This guy made a quantum leap in C64 music - his legendry status is lost on the gits who take games tunes for granted. Compaired to a lot of the shite on 8 bits in the 80's - this guy (amongst some others) sticks out a mile. Hope this guy is remembered in 300 years - some masters are appreciated well after their active period.
accidentally typed Ron Hubbard when I searched for my favorite computer game composer ;)
A god damn LEGEND!!!!!! Thank you for everything Rob!
Don't forget the Mighty Bogg who did excellent freeware renditions of famous pop tunes (never used in games though) and Benn Daglish (Suicide Express, Loco) also did some good tracks. Rob Hubbard was everywhere at one point though!
They don't do these type of kits these days, so young ones can;t get a full feel for how the sound is created and where its coming from. They just want some1 to just give it to em
Idols don't realise they are till they move on. Will we wait till he passes on till we actually acknowledge this guy was thee first, the one that made C64 games so unforgettable! Name a game that you remember more than the music he made? He needs more recognition! xxx
rob you are the fucking MASTER!
This guys proper genius, i can make music using computers now because i can use a sequencer, sampler etc. but this dude made music from scratch using proper mind boggling programming. games like the human race on c64 funky beats and basslines galore.
Your music is part of my childhood. International Karate, Spellbound, Skate or Die, Thrust are my favourite tunes. Thanks Mr Hubbard!
love his music amazing gifted man. nice to watch this again after all these years.
Chimera baby! The greatest game bassline ever! Masters of Magic-The Last V8- He had a melody, bassline, drums, and special sfx all going with 3 channels! Genius!
I had most of the games he composed music for on the c64. He was an insperation to me when I started with computer music. Still play C64 games today. Why? the games are well made and have something I think kids of today just fail to apreciate. SYS64738 :)
Yep some of the melodies were lifted but that introduced me to artists had not heard of at the time. My brother and I bought a game if you knew Hubbard was doing the tune
this man is a modern GENIUS !
I made my own mix tape of Rob's tunes when I was a youngster. My friends thought I was wierd for listening to computer generated music. How the times have changed.
