This song was one I remember being supposed to try, but can't remember the reasoning why. Certainly it was in part because nobody else tried. So far this was one of the easier ones, because the original didn't use many channels anyway and, quite frankly, is a pretty lazy composition - play a jazzy riff over Axel F and you're mostly there. Still an interesting departure from the norm and mostly enjoyable.

Curiously, the game had a release on Master System, but with different music.

Try as I might, that scope freeze won't go away without breaking something worse. I've now devised a different method for making these that should resolve it and be faster anyway. Being stuck on 2005 hardware, I need every speedup I can get - this was, admittedly, in no small part a test for that setup.
There's an earlier rendition I did of this, somewhere, which was pretty much a straight up 1:1 copy of the C64 version, but I didn't like it, so I slid notes around a bit to try and give it at least some character.

Hoping to record at least something in a game soon, but I have no idea what. Aiming for within the week, but no promises as I'm currently busy with sewer repairs and other such boring, nasty work. Still, it'll probably be something to do with Duke 3D when I show up again. Thanks for sticking with me in this time.

Jeroen, man... I felt I was being too harsh with my remarks and I've got no gripes with you... but I'm sorry, your music is pretty lame and you just use macro fills for like 50% of your songs to give the illusion something is going on. I'm not impressed. I've heard enough at this point to consider anyone who uses trackers, especially commercially as was the case with this game, mentally and musically stunted.

Whether they're paid or not, the excuse by tracker sorts is almost invariably "but equipment costs money.". Really? Get lost. If you can afford a computer, you can afford an instrument and you can sure as hell afford sequencing software in this day and age - in fact 50% of the tools used for this are freely available. The rest are abandonware.
I'm through with being nice. I certainly don't get paid and don't answer to any man, so I can and will say whatever the hell I want.
Get good, losers.
