Miniclip Tetris

While spending far too much time playing online games at work today, I noticed a familiar SID tune popping up as in-game music on a updated version of Tetris on Miniclip.

Don't think it will take too long to guess what it is.
Will be interesting to know whether permission has been given for this music to be used.

Not for me. Didn't even have to look it up in HVSC either - it's this one:
/Ouwehand_Reyn/Tetris_plus.sid tune #1
I doubt to be honest if the people at miniclip asked Reyn's permission, actually. Might be worth getting in touch with Reyn to let him know.

And that's just the title tune!!
Game Over sample is /Hubbard_Rob/I-Ball_PSID.sid subtune #4
Ingame snippet 1 (levels 1, 4,7,etc) is /Ouwehand_Reyn/Flimbos_Quest.sid subtune #1
Ingame snippet 3 (levels 2,5,8 etc) is /Tel_Jeroen/JT_in_Space.sid
Game Over tune is /Tel_Jeroen/Robocop_3.sid #2
Oh, and when the destruct block hits other blocks, look out for the rare laser fire sound from Arkanoid (/Galway_Martin/Arkanoid.sid #12) just to add insult to injury. Bah!

Thanks for that info, Waz.
Think I'll give Reyn or Chris a quick e-mail when I get home tonight to see what the situation is with this music being used.
Hopefully, either of the chaps may see this thread and be able to shed some light on this. Whichever comes first.

No permission granted. Could you possibly check through all the games for this sort of thing? They've done nothing yet I can do anything about.

Rightio. I'll get on with some "testing" then. I'll try to fit in some work here & there.

Checked through about 20 of the puzzle games so far but only the Tetris game has got C64 music in it at this stage.
Could be a one-off with using Reyn's music but I'll carry on checking anyway.
