[@Emulous79]

This makes me feel at peace. A Buddhist spell in the form of electronic music. My God, what a beautiful piece this one is.

[@mexicoshuffle]

Incredible best sounding ever, emotional magic pentatonic theme. Great quality tracks. I've shared a lot of time with my best loved little two friends, they were brothers, we have spend wonderfull days in the summers 1987/88, we played many hours at day till our eyes bleed!. I'm was 12 years old. Just one tears. Unfortunately one of them passed away about 10 years ago by a tragical car crash. I'll Never forget you.Thank you for all the loves that you gave it. RIP

[@emils7749]

Give me goose bumps just like 30 years ago! Wonderful!

From 00:00 to 01:15 beginning prologue of peace and than from 01:16 to 04:55 your life is forever peace . . . Forget all the pain of the world . . . Open your heart to your love . . . See what someone never ever saw . . . Close your eyes and touch the infinity . . . Playing videogames in your childhood are one big blessing that you should never forget and get a place in your head that never go away.

Anthony Lees,the composer of this wonderful piece of music passed away uncerimoniously in August of 2016 from a "traffic incident". The news wasn't spread far and wide in the scene until June of 2018. Very sad indeed.

[@georgekaplan4696]

Please make this franchise into a film and keep the style and music. Fuk yeah

[@haytionette]

c64 was the first computer to lay some feeling in the music. at least the first i knew, that's why it will always be legendary.

[@mostaza1464]

Amazing track!

[@KDCW3534A]

The C64 was capable of some powerful music, I mean just listen to this tune man its amazing considering the hardware its running on. Modern game music just isn't the same.

[@zingjangfu]

R.I.P. Ben Daglish

[@tongey1]

😪

[@ManchaSolar]

This is a fuking master piece!!!

[@HankAstral]

Anthony Lees - C64 legend

[@Peterpanic-c3h]

May he also Rest In Peace...

[@markhopwood6928]

Who else used to stop the tape to listen to the whole song..?

[@cyberbehrens]

+Mark Hopwood not me. i had it on a floppy disk ;)

[@dash8brj]

I did. Pushed the stop button. Until my parents got sick of it ;)

[@cyberbehrens]

hahahahahahahhahahahaha

[@RichardM-kv4uu]

The most amazing thing about that though was if you wound the tape back a fraction, the game would still load perfectly if you then pressed play!

[@tsfreh]

Always. Most of my favorite Last Ninja tracks were the loader tracks.

[@LeanderNadeltanz]

I remember back in school, our teacher in music-class complained about all of these horrible squeaking and squealing sounds kids are confronted with when they are playing video games and Game Boy. He said that kids would lose touch with real music and with art in general. In the next lesson, I brought the Robocop-theme and Last Ninja-theme to school, which I recorded on tape from my C64. I asked him to listen to this track I brought because I wanted to prove that even video games have "real music". He really was impressed and said it would content real poetry. Then we started a discussion about the evolvement of music with the whole class and he stated that he might be wrong. He always was open to new things and was ready to learn a lesson himself.

[@golvellius6855]

did you seriously copy paste this comment in all the videos!? real ninja right here

[@TanorFauxofOltanis]

Ben Daglish along with Rob Hubbard and David Whittaker, are geniuses with the C64 capabilities. This is one of the beautiful pieces ever. ^^

[@stolendata]

This particular track is by Anthony Lees.

[@tumbler9428]

1:17 is where the song really starts for me

[@foreignwarren7361]

C64 had amazing sound

[@DaveMcGarry]

SID 💙

[@webethere2]

Stone Oakvalley's Authentic SID Collection is the best place for sid tunes!

[@EdgeO419]

when the loading music is more epic then some movie soundtracks

[@bjornevers6193]

Perfect music in 80s!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marcusnns]

this game kicks ass, literary!

[@GouganeBarra-u4t]

Even better than this, is the soundtrack for the game Trap. Again by Ben Daglish R.I.P !

[@Tnesz]

dat catharsis from 1:17

[@AchtungBaby77]

1 person is lost in The Wilderness...

[@howsthatworkinout4ya]

These tunes just cant be bettered in anyway, certainly not by updating the sound, they have an ethereal quality, fused by nostalgia I admit, but then again; nostalgia isnt what it used to be!

[@tuomosalonen6674]

Never got past this level thanks to the damn jumping on the rocks thing! TLN 2 was way easier. (Although it was hard as ass too)

[@bbenjoe]

If I should name this tune, I'd call it "Truth" or "Essence"

[@porygonlover322]

I hear bits of Sanxion and the Monty on the Run solo... coincidence?

[@monsteranne7324]

Anyone remember Wizzball sound track? Getting heavy vibes from this,

[@ryushogun9890]

Flys annoying me
