Rob's Life
Platform: Commodore 64
Gametype: Undefined
_________________________

Ah variant of 'My Life'  (both based on "Mikie' ) 

It was created for Psytronik by Achim Volkers and Trevor Storey. It features Rob Hubbard as the main character, and has new Rob Hubbard SIDs as the loading tune and title tune!

Project Hubbard has always been about celebrating Rob's entire career (the lion's share of attention always falls on the SID years), but he has a long and productive career either side of that, and also a second career as "Robb Hubbard - 8-Bit Zzap!64 celebrity".

So, it seemed like fate then when the idea came up: "Hey, why don't we put Rob in a game? He's never done that before." and pitched it to Trevor "Smila" Storey (graphician of too many games to mention), he said "Why don't we put him in the game "My Life" and call it "Rob's Life"? "Stick in some classic C64 enemies and put Ben Daglish in", I said, "and we've got a deal!".

So was born: an NTSC/PAL cartridge from Psytronik as an add-on into the Project Hubbard Kickstarter. Not the main event, just a fun little thing.

Lovely art by Trevor here.

Of course, if it was a game really based on Rob's Life, it would be more "To Be On Top" (a pop artist simulator for the C64 with music by Chris Huelsbeck). In fact, an "8-bit video game musician's career simulator" would be a lot of fun to play, but less fun to write.

So, "Rob's Life" was born. Of course, it wouldn't be a Rob Hubbard game without a title tune and loading tune composed by the man himself. So, in they went: a new SID called "Casio" for the loading tune, and "Don't Step on My Wire" for the title tune.
