Additional Comments

Excerpts from an interview with Adam Billyard by James Hague:

JH: 'What's the story behind "Henri"?'

AB: 'I was at college, needed the money, and it was 6K long in total. It "artistically borrowed" from "Mr. Do!" which I was very much into at the time. Point is, it paid for my airfare back to the U.S. for the summer.'

Atari A to Z (Pete Davison) — 4 Jul 2022
Developed by Adam Billyard of Elektra Glide and Chop Suey fame, Henri is an unashamed attempt to cash in on the popularity of games like Mr Do! and Dig Dug. And it's not a bad effort, at that. Let's Play! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od3j_utn4DM

A quick and dirty Mr. Do! clone which even the developer admits was done on the cheap. It's not a bad game at all, though; okay, I'd still probably rather play Mr. Do! but if for whatever reason that wasn't possible, this is a more than adequate substitute.

Yes, it is Bach! "Invention 13 (BWV 784)". Check for more info about classical music in games on this site: http://gad.art.pl/muzykawgrach/
