COMMODORE 64 music tribute NUMBER 2 - (GOLDEN AXE, COMMANDO and rock/orchestral covers)

[mkwoohoo]

Islandrocks is the shit! I love his tribute!

The c64 commando music is pure win.

On the pc it was pure 1-sound-channel-of-beep fail!

To this day I'm still bitter that my first computer was a pc xt instead of a c64.

I remember ordering this game for my C64 & being so disappointed. I was waiting for hours of fun playing together with my brother. As soon as it arrives, plug it in, music build up was awesome, and the I find out you can only play single player, and the graphics where horrible.

Golden Axe turns 20 this year, I think. :3

[camorramerda]

YOU MADE ME FEEL SOOOO OLD!

[TheCastellan]

I remember playing it , back in 1990, so that was not long ago.

[themhz]

thanx!

to comment "oh the game is rubbish" you obviously never programmed the machine. WTF.. Mark Kelly, the guy who coded it did a fair few decent games inc. turbo outrun. The machine has limits.. then to say the commando theme is great? sure.. BUT that ate all the memory so the game only has 3 levels!!!..

[OtaKing77077]

Yeah, but I'm simply talking about music in this video. It's a music tribute. Obviously I never programmed the C64 (I couldn't program my way out of a paper bag). The Commando music eating all the memory leaving only three levels is, I think, the fault of the programmers. Look at Last Ninja 2:AMAZING jusic on every stage, and lots of different stages.

[OtaKing77077]

I guess it depends on how good a programming team there is, and how they work their magic to overcome limitations in the hardware (Like Treasure making the Sega Megadrive do SNES-like scaling, rotation etc that it should not physically have been able to do)

In any case, I think we can agree that the C64 was a musical god tier machine which deserves to be remembered always.

The Golden axe theme covered by Jeroen Tel I mean...

[SYN7HOR]

This is one of my favorite SID songs. It sounds so marvelous, with all those arpeggios and bubbly noises. And the melody is ocourse pure awesome-ness.

[CaptainFootos]

the soundtrack of my childhood...!

[Kimsor1]

Chills run through me! Amazing it is, indeed!

[sweaterpuppies1]

[Ahle2]

Are you surprised?

It's a known fact that the SID chip is way superior to other PSGs of the 80s...

[TheCommodore64Player]

very nicely made tribute. what software do you use? I guess something little more advanced than windows movie maker :)

[OtaKing77077]

Sony Vegas. A beautiful piece of quite user-friendly software.

I use Movie Maker to get the final file down to Youtube size though.
