M.U.L.E. Theme (NTSC)

The intro to the amazing 80's PC game M.U.L.E.
This game was originally released on the Atari 800, but it was then ported to the Commodore 64, NES, and IBM PCjr. The port seen here is the Commodore 64 version.
I do not own this, EA games does

I miss being a kid in the 80s with the sense of wonder at playing this for the first time, not knowing anything about economics but getting an education all the same. This was the best learning game of all times, teaching you about supply and demand, surplus and deficit, and wumpus hunting without ever letting realize you were being educated. Simply genius.

If you're from Europe you're probably wondering why the music is "playing so fast", but this is how we all heard it over here in the US! When we hear the European version it sounds too slow! It's because of the difference in screen refresh speed, which the music routine is tied to: 60hz in the US and 50hz in most of the rest of the world.
