This week, we return to the dish-spinning action of Dishaster, the original game that my sources tell me was released in 1983 and that Dancing Plate was a port of. Like the "Main Theme" from Dancing Plate, I wasn't able to find or determine if this is an original song or a variation on a traditional or folk song. But something else that surprised me even more is that the song is different between the two games. Again, music in video games on the Atari 2600 was exceedingly rare, so having essentially the same game from two different publishers with two different songs is equally surprising.
The song itself is pleasant enough, and after a couple of loops can become the type of earworm that sticks around and crops back up at 2:30 in the morning. I'm not saying it's a bad song at all, it's just one of those simplistic melodies that is likely to stick around long past its expiration date.
You're welcome, and I'm sorry.
