I never had an 800, but I had a VIC-20, C-64 and multiple Amigas. This is actually starting to interest me in the Atari 800 as the technical forerunner of the Amiga...

i wonder if there is a story to be told about why this epic theme song was so hilariously out of tune.

[@videooblivion]

"I thought the sound chips on the market, including those in the Atari computers, were primitive and obviously had been designed by people who knew nothing about music." - Bob Yannes, God

[@denshi-oji494]

Of course, it only sounded that bad on Atari... The Pokey was never really intended for music, just sounds... as a result, there is no proper way to get real pitches, just close .. almost...

[@YtseFrobozz]

Maybe it's in tune with the PAL version. I think this is the NTSC version which runs at a different frequency.

[@zorglub667]

@@YtseFrobozz I can attest that the PAL version has the same funny intonation :)

agh, my childhood confronts me with its epic music!

[@KartKing4ever]

Oh man, this one's got polyphony!

[@IndigoVoidigo]

The reason why I like the Atari version more than the C64 version is because of the dual notes used at 0:13

[@lumensimus]

The POKEY chip's polyphony definitely gave the Atari 8-bit line a distinctive sound!

[@BrawndoQC]

Atari music always sound out of tone lol :) But I miss it :( I still have my Intelivision and Coleco in working condition. Need to find an Atari!

[@randomperson-qh1oi]

At least that gives the POKEY chip a more primitive sound

[@johnrickard8512]

The POKEY I've always found to be Primitive but powerful. I've heard some examples of it acting like a SID...though you always know it's a POKEY because it never can get the tones quite right and its waveforms are always messy(deliciously so I might add)

[@MitchellRoboto]

The game design was great. You could win by screwing the other players over but you would be master of a doomed colony that was going to suffer and fail. You had to help players while also staying on top to really win the game with a successful colony. My family and extended family spent many hours playing MULE and every one of us knows this music by heart.

[@robloxfan23_]

The song is still being out of tune. I like the c64 version.

[@infinitecanadian]

This isn’t out of tune; the Atari 8-Bit computers were the original platform for M.U.L.E.

[@vine00]

@@infinitecanadian So you're saying if the original version of a song is out of tune, that it's not because it's the original. Makes sense.

@satancouldkillyounow Yea I've played Planet Mule. Not too happy with what they have done. They go out beg to be the guys to make the game worthy of the programmer. They get the families permission to make it. Then they start to change things without ever playing the original. Sort of like reiventing the wheel. Then you get newbs that think the ideas are better. Guess what? They all underestimated just how good the original programmer was. The timing is all off its not MULE

It's no often that the Atari version of a game theme is better than the Commodore 64 version, buy this may be one of that cases.

[@Physics072]

I have 3 Atari 800s and one 400 just for this game. Have 4 buddies that found old 800s just to have a real 4 player mule computer. The Atari version is still the best. Even better than the online versions.

[@MitchellRoboto]

M.U.L.E. was designed for Atari. The planet is called Irata which is Atari spelled backward.

[@GalacticJourney]

I have an Atari 800 hooked up for that reason, too!

[@sonomabob9043]

I bought the game back in 1984. Even though I never forgot the planet's name, I never noticed that Irata was Atari spelled backwards.

[@Physics072]

@@sonomabob9043 Yea IRATA!!! Best 4 player game (same room) in video game history. Was always ranked top 5 of all games till like 2000. Trouble is you had to have 400 (moded to 48k) or a 800 to play with 4 joysticks. They combined 2 joystick ports to get 64K for the XL models which to me was a mistake.

[@yablock7346]

why theres a 4th voice channel? 0:44

[@IsaacKuo]

This is the original Atari 8-bit version, with four voices. The C64 port had only 3 voices because the C64 SID sound chip only had 3 voices. The big down-side to the Atari's sound chip was that it could only play in tune by combining pairs of voices (only two voices). With all four voices, they'd be out of tune. As a result, this M.U.L.E. theme has a janky off-key sound common to Atari 8-bits.

[@saucedispenser9167]

The frick is going on with the bass? C64 version of the song is better.

[@GrouchoDis]

You're bonkers. This is the original version. The crummy down-mixed 3-channel C64 version came later and the C64 couldn't reproduce this version. Note "Planet Irata" - M.U.L.E. was also a four-player game, only on the Atari 800. That being said, this song is a real challenge for emulators to get right, but this is pretty darn close to how you'd hear it on a real Atari. The C64 was quite a bit more primitive than the Atari 8bits.

[@randomperson-qh1oi]

the NES version is the worst

[@flophawk]

i checked all 3 and i agree that 1 c64 2 atari 3 nes

[@NickSBailey]

I think the atari version sounds better except for the bassline being out of tune. The actual sound is better though.

[@robloxfan23_]

Its probably the atari pokey sound chip itself.

[@4b06chongshunhang4]

c64 is better

how many voices on this atari?

[@mudkiptg]

If my memory serves me correct, Atari 8-bit computers used a 2-channel sound card.

[@dava_arvarabi]

Мирослав Ушаков 4 channel, 4 melodic channel, 3 melodic channel with 1 noise channel, or 2 16-bit channel with 1 noise channel. CMIIW. Can also be stereo with 8 channels.
