[edit] Life

Contrary to his significance for the scene, relatively little is known about his personal life. He wrote Soundtracker for his work at ReLINE and Rainbow Arts, where he was responsible for the creation of game music (see the list below). He left the scene somewhere in the mid-1990s and is now working in the electronics business. He still does music in his free time and is planning to release a CD.

[edit] Games

The author of this article was not able to find out which role Karsten Obarski had in the development of these games. It can be assumed that he did either coding or composing. "Rotator" is a special case: when asked about his own compositions, Obarski said he liked track 3 from "Rotator" very much - but the author of this article was unable to find any music from this game created by him. It can be assumed it was never released, as stated on EAGER.
