Psycho is a shameless clone of Psychedelia, a light synthesizer created by Jeff 'Yak' Minter in 1984 for the Commodore 64.
Psycho is freeware, can be distributed freely and should never be charged for.

If you like the sound track, you can copy a longer version from here Copy it to sd:/apps/psycho/ on your SD card.
Note that it's a little over half a Gig (530MB). I wonder if it can be compressed better.
