Well, let's face it: the original game was made in 2001, which is technically only two years after the 90s. XD As for the instrumentation, retro stuff IS my specialty. XD
Loosely inspired by the early 80s B movie "Final Exam".
The pain was the strings. I originally used synth strings from the Prophet VS, only to discover that it resulted in a significant DC offset. :P Also, to clarify about possible sampling accusations: despite one of the sounds at the end, I did not sample from the Halloween II soundtrack. I recreated the sound in question from scratch using Omnisphere and a Linndrum kick. ;)
