This piece is so unique... 80s-90s... everything was in the right place at the right time. Great machine, great musicians and fresh ideas. Oh, and don't forget limited 3 voice polyphony which revealed surprisingly unlimited soul.
I wish more people would understand the significant impact this had on future computer games. And childhood memories! My all-time favorite game and soundtrack.
Not only the fantastic music, but look at this game, with the corpse carrying the the item, the heron standing there, the cherry trees in blossom..
Consider that this game was released back when video games still said bleep bloop and featured glowing monochrome enemies... then comes one of the first proper adventure games. Amazing.
has anyone gotten this on teh virtual console? I did, and teh music (and game) run a bit fast... its weird, and it sounds off. Anyone else notice this?
hogy imádtam ezt a zenét:) a remixek már nem jönnek be annyira róla.

One of the best C-64 songs ever. Check my channel for my own cover version !!!

The game itself was far too difficult requiring pixel perfect positioning but with this music you felt like a ninja and that's all that mattered!

If some game company decides to remake Last Ninja for say the PS3 , it should be called Armakuni goes to the Wastelands ..or some shit like that ^__^

I'm waiting uncharted 3 in ps3 but last ninja and last ninja 2 stays a legend above all now especially the music of last ninja 2 central park.

Absolutely brilliant and original music. Way ahead of its time and far better than any game comes up with these days.
Go the C64, The Last Ninja and the 80's!!

In Last Ninja 2, the cataclysmic music score for the last levels have echoes if this tune. It's incredibly well done, and gives me chills every time.
What a series of games. You just don't get this creativity in games anymore.

if i been a film director and had the budget......DAMN !!
i mean, i would make a film of " The Last Ninja" and this soundtracks.
Much many, of the new age Games with DX 10 Graphics and a huge storyline, still cant beat games like this.

I guess a lot of us did that back then.
To me the whole soundtrack is a great example of awesome classic game music.
This tune in particular though was always my favorite, if I think of "Last Ninja" this is what first comes to my mind.
