TnC Collected works : TnC SoundZ & DemoZ Disk Part 4

Finally, I finished Part 4 of this series. I wanted (as always) do more than just put the files in a menu with a short description and release it. 

No, instead I checked every program on this disk, tried to make it a little better and when I was nearly finished, there was not enough disk space. So I had to remove some to save it for the next Part (5). 
And just at the last check, I found out I forgot the main drum kit of one of these Moonblaster demo's you will find on this disk. 

Well, Part 4 is ready now, it's called "The MoonBlaster edition", cause it contains 3 small Moonblaster demo's, MOVE THA HOUZ, TC-TECKK, and ZOOITJE. Together with the Music Module sample demo  REVOLUTION, there was not much space left. I filled the rest of the disk again with small MSX-MUSIC files.

Some notes about the REVOLUTION demo. It was the last sample demo I made, this time together with Elko Duijm, he made the graphics, I did the samples and main programming.
Of course, the title was not original, but if you use samples of J.M. Jarre's Revolution, how would you name your demo then? Sample Demo #24?

MOVE THA HOUZ was a simple remake of the Flying Bytes music disk Move Tha HouzDisk version, with MoonBlaster versions of their "best" tracks.
Their tracks were made with FAC Soundtracker Pro only for MSX-AUDIO and I hated it that Flying Bytes didn't bother about MSX-MUSIC users.
So I made this remake with some surprises, for example: play song 1 in the Music Replayer.

For the TC-TECKK demo I made a long info text in English, don't ask me why. I made a simple text viewer so you enjoy my sense of humor...There is also some useful info in it, 
I don't think I need to say more here. A SCREEN 5 demo.

There is a lot to tell about the ZOOITJE Moonblaster demo. 

First: ZOOITJE is a Dutch word for MESS, Impact made some house tracks with that name and I liked to hear them in MSX-STEREO. 
I converted the FST Pro (again !!) files in MoonBlaster 1.3 and created so-called stereo-edits. But MB 1.3 had a nasty bug, so after creating and saving the stereo-edits I never could edit it again. There was more trouble. 

When I tested the demo I noticed ZOOITJE 3 file was corrupted and I had not any backup. So I needed to create a fresh new stereo-edit (with MB 1.4 without the bug) and because Impact made also ZOOITJE 5, I created another stereo-edit for this little demo. 

At this time it was still a text-only demo, very boring for a ZOOITJE/MESSY demo. I decided to remake the demo in SCREEN 1 and created with the help of CHRPAINT (also made by me) some weird character color changes. It made the ZOOITJE demo MESSY enough, believe me...

Finally, I put some FM-Pac/MSX-Music files all made by EMP-Soft on this disk. 

Menu 2 contains converted PSG-music by me and Menu 3 contains original works by Elko Duijm.

I hope you like them, as much as I like those.
There are some game music , some classic tunes, and some famous pop-songs.

Mediafire / Pcloud

Oh my, I forgot, I included my own version of the MoonBlaster Basic Replayer on this disk.
I used it a lot for listening to my own collected Moonblaster music on the disk.

Last note: as you will see there is no ZOOTJE 1 music made by Impact, that's because ZOOITJE was already made by Flying Bytes, check out the MOVE THA HOUZ demo.
