Status: Existence Unconfirmed

Mad is a batch of Commodore 64 SID files that has been around on the internet for quite some time with no one really paying attention to it. The very vague title of it only made it harder to look for. Eventually, Frank Gasking created a Games That Weren't 64 page on it.[1]

He noted that this very track was composed by Adam Gilmore around the early 1990s, but since the year on them was 199?, it made it seemingly impossible to pinpoint an exact date. When confronted, Adam couldn't remember anything about it, not even the company it was made for. It is assumed that it might've been developed in the early 1990s for Zeppelin, but their name wasn't attached to any of those files. Whether, or not it even was a video game at all is a mystery within itself.

To this day, it's still unknown as to what happened to Mad. One likely explanation may be that the Commodore 64 was a dying market at the time, and releasing it exclusively on that computer would've not been a good marketing idea. It's worth noting that the 3rd track hasn't been found in those files, and might never surface again.
