[@cathulhu3772]

That game was better than anything after NFS Undergriud 2

[@schwarzbussard8429]

Oh Man You just stood my whole hairs vertical 😁 Is there a chance to hear only you playing without original Lotus track in background?

[@BlazeRhodon]

Music in the background is from Amiga version of this game. Nevertheless it sound great!

[@CarlosAndresOrtegaPoblete]

I could've sworn that I listened to the "AMIGA" version when I played at a friend's PC when I was a kid. And I'm 100% sure it was a DOS PC.

[@DjoniGitara]

yes it is Amiga version, and yeah it was ported to PC also, because platform were kind a same, it is basicaly DOS and AmigaDOS. In video description, info was taken from some official site, and my thought that music is composed in DOS :) thanks for your comments, glad that you like it.

[@jaycee1980]

The Amiga version was the first version of the game. It was composed by Patrick Phelan using an Amiga program called "ProTracker". The PC version was a port later on. In those days, it wouldve been done from scratch, as the Amiga version would have been written entirely in 68K assembly language - completely unportable to a x86 based PC. At the time the PC did not commonly have sampled playback (before the Soundblaster standard really took off), so the music you hear on the PC version is "OPL-3" FM synthesis based. The Amiga has 4 channels of 8-bit sample playback at a maximum of 22KHz per channel.

[@HaythamBuKhadra]

Childhood improved (Y)

[@camaxide]

Did studio version ever come? :)

[@damonsisk4270]

This is wonderful! Did you ever finish a studio version? If so, there are a couple great places to post it: www.scenestream.net, and www.amigaremix.com/ will give you a lot of exposure to fans of these sorts of remixes.

[@vejin9]

is there any studio version already?

[@Danielkaas94]

TABS!

[@DjoniGitara]

Danielkaas94 I am sorry but it will not been soon. Tip: find a midi track, convert it with a guitar pro, take your guitar, first edit guitar track to suit your finger positions, then start to practice :) rythm section in big part of tje track is A C D, as I remember...

[@Danielkaas94]

Thanks! Anyway, you did a nice job :D

[@darakuT]

u should lower down the volume of the original track!

[@piotrgleba2830]

impressive most impressive...lol

[@davuvnik]

NOW DO THE WHOLE SONG! I BET YOU THAT KNOW YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO AT LEAST THROUGH SOFTWARE!

[@manuelink64]

tabs please, tabs!!

[@DjoniGitara]

thanks, there is no tabs for this, I've learned it by ear :) maybe I will try to wrote some draft tabs also for myself to not forget the song :) and will share them for sure

[@manuelink64]

excellent! maybe the most complicated parts? this would be amazing.

[@piotrbraszak3394]

Tabs, definitely tabs, please. If You can SOMEHOW talk to Ubisoft and push it through as a Rocksmith DLC, then my money is all Yours! @,..,@

[@darakuT]

Fa cagare....😭
