Details about the file:
Was recorded onto tape somewhere in 1985-1986. Sounds like a "victory" type of fanfare. The guy mentions it was maybe from an medieval type of game ( not Defender of the Crown).
Anybody can identify the fanfare uploaded - or which game it came from? |

Here's the intro that features the same fanfare (and the rest of it actually)

Well, the timeframe of 1985/86 was spot-on....it's just that we probably all assumed it was from a game!
I, myself, was convinced it was from an Epyx game as the trumpet sample sounded very Olympian and like something straight out of their Summer/Winter/World Games franchise.
Like you, I went through all the Amiga and C64 Epyx games recorded on YouTube searching for the trumpet sample and came up empty. I even looked through games on HOL that had credited the Sonix author for use of the sound driver. Again, I came up with nada!
Anyway, I'm glad you came across it when researching something else. It should put the guy who emailed you this mystery task out of his misery, and has certainly quenched my thirst to know where it came from too - well done, sir!
