Harumi Fujita has just discovered that the ROM for the final version of Viewpoint 2064, a game for which she composed the music, is now available. She said she was paid for her work but added that the company went bankrupt (?? Neither Sammy nor Racdym went bankrupt). xcancel.com/soundfujita/...

Is the Macintosh version of Zork: Grand Inquisitor credited to Logicware or Contraband Entertainment?

Harumi Fujita apparently did the music for Viewpoint 2064. She's posted about it numerous times. x.com/soundfujita/...

The Saturn version of Sunsoft's Galaxy Fight was released in Japan 30 years ago. At last check, people didn't like Galaxy Fight anymore. At any rate, the Saturn version was developed by the Sunsoft splinter Santaclaus (Astra Superstars). www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIXj...
