About Amiga Tracker Music
Both Flashback and Another World used Amiga MOD format for their music — a sample-based tracker format native to the Amiga's Paula chip, with four independent audio channels. The MOD format allowed composers to bundle their instrument samples with the music data in a single file, making distribution and preservation straightforward.
Gesqua's Flashback modules are held in high regard in the tracker community for their compositional sophistication within the hardware's constraints. They are preserved at:
