I translated this for Back in Time 1: yes, it's Morse code, it's the (occasionally badly spelled) names of the programmers.

There's an entry in the HVSC about this subject, along with a comment by Martin Galway himself:
HVSC wrote:The Morse-code heard in voice 1 at the start of the tune spells out
the names of the games' creators. The decoded Morse-code is below.
The (*) denotes where the tone of the Morse-code drops. The spelling
is slightly incorrect, letter 'i' always translates as an 'e'.
"I wrote that morse code program myself. Nobody touched it but me. It
was written to handle any text. And I spelt the text right! So - if
you're right - the problem must have been the software. I'm assuming
my morsecode book was right of course ;)" (MG)

The interesting thing is that some of the remixes on remix64.com have different messages in their Morse code than the original. Has anyone ever translated these?

Examples:

http://www.remix64.com/tune_112600.html
http://www.remix64.com/tune_133200.html

I know Tron's version on RKO says: Donate to RKO. The version played on Slayradio says: Donate to Slayradio
Old programmers never die, they just get lazy and distracted.
