>top /vr/ composer of all time
>lent his efforts exclusively to trash shovelware for his entire career
wtf was his problem?
>>

He was a loyal employee of his company, Software Creations, where both of his brothers (Geoff and Mike, not a composer) also worked. He did not leave Software Creations until around 1994, when he worked on Time Trux and Ultraverse Prime for Malibu Software. He did manage to gain some independent gigs later in his career, most notably Ecco the Dolphin for Dreamcast, but by that point he was already losing interest in a composer career.

>>11068082
He worked for Western "games". Imagine if he could've been hired by some Japanese projects instead.

>Ultraverse prime
Is it really that bad? I see it every so often when skimming the Sega CD library and the name always catches my eye

The world will never again witness such nuclear autism applied to chiptunes. He came and went, but when he left the industry he slammed the door so hard as to shake the foundations of the universe

His NES Pictionary tracks are computers as fuck, yo.

I prefer to think that he left to seal his own chiptune powers for good, so the said universe wouldn't shatter apart from another banger.

Gigachad of retro tunes, really sad that he lost a brother.
>>
>>11068082
he was getting paid weekly and had reasonable job security, a rare thing in the 1980s / 90s game industry in the UK

>shovelware
Solstice is great. Too hard for zoomies, though.

England

Rob Hubbard did manage to escape England though.

Yes, it is. Do you want to elaborate on this or are you gonna keep making vague responses while implying you’re super smart.
