Episode Music Bubsy - Hillstream Blues Composed by Matt Bernardo There's a hidden credit line in the game's ROM which reads: (C) 1992 Basement Boys Software Basement Boys Software were a group famous for making hacking tools on the Commodore 64 in the late 80s, who had some members go on to Chip Level Designs, a company that used to provide sound programming for a number of SNES titles. The same credit appears in Cool Spot. Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind 40 Winks - Bedroom Possibly composed by Steve Duckworth 40 Winks was almost released on the N64 but was ultimately cancelled. It went so far as to even be reviewed in Official Nintendo Magazine. Jetforce Gemini - Title Composed Robin Beanland and Graeme Norgate According to the Lead Programmer, Paul Mountain, the entire game took elements from different games. It had Super Mario 64's open world and free-roaming nature for scale, Quake-style "attack and cover" mechanics, and Super Metriod's collecting and upgrading of weapons.
