A much under rated SID tune, a fave of mine. :0)

Yep, I wouldn't have added it if I didn't like it. :)

Not my best work - but it did the job at the time

Definitely one of the more memorable tunes. I remember making high scores - STONE THE CROWS!

As soon as I got the amiga 500, this was the 1st c64 cover that I made on protracker. Awesome tune, great groove, I did it by heart since I didn't have a c64 near me to listen to the original tune, and guess what? I did it right, with a different note here and there. Why? Coz its a tune so rememberable, you can't go off too much. I love it beyond expression. <3

I had TRAZ on a 5.25 Floppy, but got corrupted years ago. I should have moved it onto a hard drive when I had the chance. It was not the C64 version, but a PC DOS version. I can't find a copy anywhere on the internet to replace what I have lost.

I spent a lot of time with this game and it's level editor as a kid.

Sorry also ment to say nexus vst has an expansion called sid chip and that has all the classic c64 sound xx

castor90able you are TOO kind; seriously this tune was 2 test out my new sounds and functionality of my code at the time.We used 2 program "routines" or short pieces of 8-bit code 2 drive (chips) 2 do what we were creating (like the SID (6581) 4 music or the Video VIC-II for graphics).Hey we were a good team at the time..Four guys (The JudgeS) all driven 2 get the absolute maximum out of the C64.We used 2 meet once a week & hauled all our TVs, Drives, C64s with no screws & open & tinkered with..
