What about the feasibility with a (not emulated) QL? I think also the sound would be a big problem...

I actually do have a QL that is equipped with the Spectrum sound chip, so that is feasible in theory. But an unmodified QL would certainly be a problem sound-wise.

Sure, with some pain you can do some music. But probably not this specific music. Even the Spectrum version uses 6 tracks (so three more than my AY-3-8910 equipped QL can do at the moment), I don't think a single track QL version would knock anyone's socks off. But I like to be proven wrong ;)

I think you should be telling us a lot more about your AY equipped QL too :ugeek:

I agree. I think this would merit a specific topic indeed

OK, apart from sound issues, what about the (theoretical) feasibility on real machine? The following "making of" might provide some ideas or inspiration:
