Footage of Richard Joseph's most celebrated scores - iconic intros, longplay recordings, and community tribute videos.

Cannon Fodder - "War Has Never Been So Much Fun"

1993 · Sensible Software · Amiga

The most controversial game loading screen in Amiga history. Richard Joseph composed the "War!" theme; Jon Hare wrote the lyrics. Before Cannon Fodder shipped, this poppy-and-anthem combination made front-page news in the British press.

Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe - Amiga Longplay

1990 · Bitmap Brothers · Amiga

Experience Richard Joseph's percussive, machine-perfect Speedball 2 score alongside the gameplay it was built to serve. Relentless and industrial - one of the defining Amiga game soundtracks.

Gods - Amiga Longplay

1991 · Bitmap Brothers · Amiga

Hear Richard Joseph's audio direction at work - integrating Nation XII's (John Foxx) minimalist electronic music into The Bitmap Brothers' mythological world. The textural, atmospheric result stands apart from all other Amiga game audio.

Sensible Soccer - Amiga Longplay

1992 · Sensible Software · Amiga

One of Richard Joseph's most successful collaborations with Sensible Software, Sensible Soccer became a cultural touchstone of British gaming. The music - energetic and immediately recognisable - is central to the experience.

Populous - Amiga Music

1989 · Bullfrog Productions · Amiga

Richard Joseph's music for Peter Molyneux's landmark god game, Populous. The score matched the game's epic, contemplative scope - players reshaping terrain while an atmospheric soundtrack unfolded beneath them.
