    The same five tunes as scores, read bar by bar — every note out of the cartridge.

A red car races the clock through traffic, oil slicks and trucks, its fuel running out with every crash — Konami's 1984 arcade hit on the Famicom, and five short tunes.

Nothing here was transcribed by ear: every note was read out of the cartridge and is played by an emulated NES sound chip — two pulse waves and a triangle, each on a keyboard of its own.

The music and the game belong to their composers and publishers; this site only shows how the cartridge plays it, for learning.
