I admire how this composer would create musical narratives evocative of the games narrative. This piece combines powerfulness, relentlessness and sadness.

This is Awesome, brilliance of musicianship and the nostalgia-factor, just great.

few of us nerds know nemesis the c64 game and maybe fewer the comic. could b vice as i know no stats. what was it that inspired u into making musical scores to begin with?

[brewcakes]

there is a good number of remixes. mr. hubbard made a legacy.

Oh man, this is good! I´ll take this over todays crap game soundtracks anytime. Songs like these, they have spirit inside them.

@vapourmile Not to mention this is all driven by the hardware limitations...

Written by Aliens. No human being can compose such a masterpiece! ^^

@SpearM3064 i don't remember the specs of the c64 tbh. i've increased my nerdliness over the years however. if my beer sodden brain remembers correctly load "nemesis.exe",8,1 eh?

@brewcakes Not even 1.44 megs. As I recall, this game took less than half of a Commodore 1541 diskette... which only held 170 kb. That was back in the days when the focus was on gameplay, not on "Ooh, look at what I can do with a $400 video card, 4 gigs of RAM, and 15 gigs of hard drive space." Also, publishers were more willing to experiment with a new franchise instead of throwing out sequel after sequel.

@AlsatianCousin As I recall, Commodore User had a less enthusiastic review of NTW, but in this case the Finnish magazine came closer to the truth. This game, and its music, is exceptional.
