Tunes from Ken
Ken was active both on C64 and later on Amiga, therefore you will find .sid and .mod files in his section. Some of the tunes here are eventually not used in a "Cascade" production, but released when he was already member of "Yankees" (C64) or "Drifters" (Amiga).
Information for listening to the .sid files:
Common PC audio players are most probably not able to play .sid files. So you might have to use special players or install a plugin, in case you use the famous WinAmp player. Information for listening to the .mod music files:
Some PC audio players are able to play .mod files, so does the actual version of the famous WinAmp. In case you still use an old version of this player, you might be lucky with "Oldsk00l MOD" plugin.
For more information about SID and MOD players or plugins, you should visit the chapter "C64/Amiga - Emulators and Tools".

A .SID file, colloquially known as 'a SID', is a sound data file not only containing the note patterns, but also the 6502 program code - often called a 'player' - needed to replay the music on the SID. All actual sound is produced by the SID chip, or a software emulator that emulates the SID chip. The High Voltage SID Collection contains over 45,000 SID tunes. The SID files have the MIME media type audio/prs.sid.
The SID file format is not a native format used on the Commodore 64 or 128, but a format specifically created for emulator-assisted music players such as PlaySID , Sidplay and JSidplay2. However, there are loaders like RealSIDPlay and converters such as PSID64 that make it possible to play a substantial portion of SID files on original Commodore computers.

MOD is a computer file format used primarily to represent music, and was the first module file format. MOD files use the ".MOD" file extension, except on the Amiga where the original trackers instead use a "mod." prefix scheme, e.g. "mod.echoing". A MOD file contains a set of instruments in the form of samples, a number of patterns indicating how and when the samples are to be played, and a list of what patterns to play in what order.

12.09.2026 - Plus/4 adventures 'Castle Quest' and 'Iowa Jack and the Crystals of Chaos' released - free for downloadRichard J. Derocher, who is a well-known game creator – primarily of adventure games – has chosen to bring two of his classics to the TED platform: Castle Quest and Iowa Jack and the Crystals of Chaos. Both games feature a parser stripped down to the bare essentials to make the genre truly accessible to everyone, alongside graphics and music of a caliber rarely seen in this type of game. Castle Quest is an expanded version of a game by the same author titled "Tiny Quest", originally created for the VIC-20: save the princess and grab the loot. Iowa Jack and the Crystals of Chaos feels like the big brother of the previous titles; while the parser remains as simple as ever, the story and supplementary content are significantly more substantial, "perfect for newcomers to the genre, or advanced players who want a quick adventure break" (cit.). It is an adventure game that catapults you into a story with a distinctively 1980s, Lucas-style vibe.
