The Last Ninja

[heerogunkenobi]

then the czech philharmonic performence

[heerogunkenobi]

i think in my opinion the malmoe symphony orchestra performence of the last ninja theme at the 2006 play concert is better then the cd album version of the commedore 64 medley performence with the czech philharmonic chamber orchestra mainly because this performence has that catchy trombone solo 1:10 that the czech philharmonic chamber orchestra performence of the last ninja theme of the play cd album sadly didnt had and also the melody at 1:02 was much better peformed

[polarmovement]

Its a medely, thats why it stops, they started another composition...

[WaltersKochwaesche]

I CAN´T believe this video stops at the very best point of the whole tune!

4 years + 2 days ago..

where is that damn time machine?

[rellekium]

Ben Daglish is a legend. He could write movies/games/pop.... and anything else that evokes the emotion of the moment! Come back Ben Daglish! You are missed in todays games. Pioneer.

[TruthBeyond]

Ouch, butchered.

[ReynOuwehand]

Wow.. did Ben ever heard this??

[je4316]

That is simple fantastic :)

[Ionisus]

can someone upload this completely thanks!

[CrustyBiker]

Blimey, that brings back memories......of how cool and how frustrating that game was......for me! lol!

[thuaners]

yeah i have great memories of that game! and yes.. frustrating! remember jumping on those logs (or stones?) across the river! and i didn't know how to get past the dragon on level 1 for ages lol!

[Soma874]

Yea so true, I loved this game but never wanted to see another bloody stepping-stone again in my life lol

[CrustyBiker]

I hear ya on that one! but I just found this video on YouTube called.... C64 Longplay - Last Ninja (Part 1/2) and he makes the stepping stones look like a walk in the park, haha! its from the park level. I used to like the funny squat position to pick up an object lol!

[Imaginaryspacedaddy]

Argh, it stops just when the best part is about to begin.

[azorack]

amazing

[GirlsHateMeVeryMuch]

I wish someone could upload the full version

[TehLazyOne]

Oh my god, YES...

[MajinGalgod]

Yeah Last Ninja C64 godgame

[lordbacon82]

awesome....

[LaTripleaResistance]

haha! Go stringquartet!

[MystikWizard]

That is awesome that they actually performed this.

[IntexDigitalSound]

THIS IS FRAKKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! best version I have heard so far, does anyone know if there is a CD from this orchestra available?

[roskildahphreak]

It's the Malmö Symphony Orchestra from a computer game expo in Malmö, Sweden i think.

[Konsultarvode]

Nah, it's from Malmö Festivalen :)

[Littletiger78]

Do they have a cd ?

[ulmeulme]

upload the rest!!!

[tempestgopherit]

Ah,just as it was getting to the best part of the theme itself,it cuts out!!!

Is there an mp3 of this available? Its amazing- imagine how insane it would sound if there was somebody adding electric guitar to it onstage with the orchestra itself!!

[Thisuxbigtime]

HAHA! If you look away from the video (only hearing the audio), the orchestra makes it sound like something out of a 70's Bruce Lee / Jackie Chan Kung-Fu movie. :D

[howdydoodly]

kinda wierd an orchestra playing the music on a game i loved when i was a kid ,been watched by loads of peeps.I dont really know what to think lol

[Proletarian1917]

I want this on CD :/

[ArimaKihe1]

I remember my mate and i used to love the song that plays when the game is loading; back in the days of the floppy drive-"OOOOH WAH!"

[DXMDEALER]

This is from LEvel 1 ingame

[Lardinho78]

omg... amazing, sounds just like the loading tune from the C64. The best tune on the game was the loading sequence for level 3. This sounds incredible, I love it!

[rogue72uk]

dont want knock the orc.. but these reditions just dont compare, download the origanal on HVSC and play em on sid.. they MUCH better

[McLarenMercedes]

I agree, and some of the remixes are better too.

[Psino]

GEIL!

The Last Ninja 1, my favorite video game in my childhood :) great music

[thebigwalbowski]

That was brilliant. Out of sheer curiosity: did Ben and Anthony want royalties for it?

[rogue72uk]

no ben got 2k and anthony lees got about 20 quid per loader tune (i only have read this) , mark cale system 3 owner was a tuff cookie

none of the c64 guys retained the rights to the tunes.. if only they knew..

[thebigwalbowski]

OK then.

[orinocojones]

Not so sure about the 'fucky-fucky ten dollah!' trumpets though. Why can't they make a Last Ninja game for the Next-Gens? Just do the whole Manhunt kills thing (as an upadate) and keept the aesthetic Zen intact? Keep the music but modernize the instruments and make it longer? It would rake in the cash...

[orinocojones]

Cool : D

[blenderfroggy]

(synthesized voice) C64 superior, Bill Gates inferior.

[kenraux]

affirmative

[sunmax1]

Thats really Good! I like that fat sounding instrument at 01:10 haha

[samikaze]

The Last Ninja (pt 1) had the best music out of all of them. Commando was another huge fav or mine too. Man, this symphony covering this song is awesome. Gave me the chills!!

[darkaproN]

owow - galway and all his peeps were genius - great clip ;D

[padre80]

Where to i get the whole show!

[ulmeulme]

i want more!!!!!

[mrpumpkin2007]

put in google last ninja c64 remixed music theres a site with loads of remixed c64 tunes

[EvilKris]

Come on dude, upload the rest of the clips! Dying to hear more orchestral renditions of my old fav games!

[michael67394307]

i would say the real hit that night was "super mario"

[lexotaniscool]

ho un giramento di testa

[Bowiddl]

Very very fantastic!

[realms3d]

sure sid chip is the grandpa of directx improvements, also stealed by bill....first directx solution ever made by commodore for 64/128/128c and amiga of course

[eurologic]

Amazing tune.

[ollevarm]

finns det en inspelning man kan köpa?

[Ionisus]

Fantastic!...

[geraldbgeraldb]

aaaaah the good old c64 times ^__^

[waige]

Så himla läckert :)

[Metallicakicksbutt]

The secret behind the great music of the C64 was the SID chip which was years ahead of others when released in the around 81.Great composers such as Rob Hubbard and Martin Galway to name a few is the reason people remember game-music.This was long before 8-bit Nintendo and Sega.

[blade004]

Yeah its just a shame that Nintendo and Sega seem to be the staple diet of most gamers memories, but very little have any clue of how much better the Commodore 64 & Commodore Amiga were. Another great tune on the C64 was from the game Driller, but then there were so many werent there!. Nothing could ever beat the SID & Paula chip back then :)

[Awake1077]

Hell. Yes. I grew up with those machines - I still use them to make music!

[HejAllaBarn]

haha... awesome. too bad about the sound quality. have you got more clips from this event?

[polarmovement]

Yes, I will put them here when I have the time!

[Underdrummer]

WHat is this? Is this footage of the games debut?

[polarmovement]

No, it is a symphony orchestra in Sweden playing a collage of c64 tunes, recorded live 2006. They also played Commando, Delta, Way Of The Exploding Fist and some others aswell.

[Underdrummer]

Cool! I wanna go! The commodore was the first computer system I owned and had the best music of any system even years after it was obsolete!
