While I work on the final chapters of the Escape Solaris trilogy I do this year, I decided to upload some stuff just to keep the Minotaur alive. Don't worry, most of the demos are already in pre-production state. :)

As my closest friends know, I'm a fan of all those old-school games I played when I was younger. Playing on the C64, or my age-old DOS games on Pentium 1 had always a feeling that nowadays' games just doesn't have anymore. We needed a lot of imagination to enjoy the games of that age.

And thanks to the limitations of these machines we got something unique as well: the music. Probably the lowest quality soundeffects in the history of digital music, and we still liked it. Hell, I remember dancing to Maniac Mansion's intro, when I was about 7 :)

I have to state that even if on an unconscious level, these tunes had a LOT of impact on me. Outrun on C64, Last Ninja, Golden Axe, Doom on the PC, Duke Nukem 3D, the early Need for Speed series, stuff like that. I miss those moments, when I played a game just to be able to listen to the music. It was fun.

As you can see I got a bit nostalgic, and recently I looked up some of my old favourites. Now personally I never had a Gameboy, but once I borrowed one of my best friends', and I remember having drained a LOT of batteries just to play this game - but now I realize it was mostly for the song on the first stage.

So I decided to make a Minotaur version of it - not only played, but rearranged the song, rewrote the drums, so now you can hear what I heard in my head playing this game :)

Song originally written by Hidehiro Funachi (citation needed :)), game released by Konami - I don't own any rights to this game, nor the music. Hence it's downloadable for free, as the original midi file was from Konami's site.

Phenomenal work, possibly my favorite Castlevania song and very underrated for awesomeness potential.
