RAMBO MUSIC (C64)

[@tangoteflon1050]

My cousin gave me his c64 with a very big box of Datasette games in 92` and this was my absolutely favourite game and soundtrack.Sometimes i found me laying on the floor just listening to these beautiful SID chip sounds .The soundtracks are almost more special to me than the actual gameplay^^

[@AchtungBaby77]

I lost count of the number of C64 games I had which I loaded purely for the music! 🤣

[@tangoteflon1050]

Yeah mee too.I did it with the gameboy later too^^.Just start a game and listening to its music to fall asleep.Brilliant memorys.Sometimes today i listen to Slay Radio to fall asleep ,you should check it out =)

[@chrisacres]

Agreed!

[@stefankarlsson4652]

I'm 54 and remember when the higscore-music started to play. It just took the breath out of me. And still do.

[@rairair23]

Same here

[@pjcnet]

I used to load games back then sometimes just for the music, it really was stunning for it's time and Rambo is one of the best despite rarely being seen in the top C64 music lists.

[@C64Television]

3:31 I remember this bit of the music from when I was a teenager in the mid-1980s. It still stops me in my tracks and makes me feel like I am going back to that exact time. That ever happen to anyone else?

[@paulhallows5498]

yes

[@sdegroot1]

My thoughts exactly.

[@SpaceinvaderOne]

yep

[@jonathancolling2284]

Totally there back in my friends bedroom waiting for him to come back up after he has eaten his tea !!! - amazing :)

[@jsmythib]

A few thousand listens as a kid...caused my current search :)

[@gary72carol61]

From what power in home computers had then and from what the C64 composers gave us is like having $10 or £10 and investing it and coming back with 10,000,000. That is how amazingly talented the composers and game makers were in those days. I take my hat off and bow to these great human beings! Thank you for giving me a childhood never to forget. Oh by the way this is my favourite music, probably in any game I have played. Thanks to Martin Galway and also to Jerry Goldsmith.

[@storminboy]

It was a special one off time for computer composers. Ironically when the commodore Amiga came out with a much better sound chip, music was never done as well as the 8 bit compositions. It seems with the 8 bit limited capability it brought the best out of programmers and muscians alike.

[@dereksmallsuk]

The GREATEST THEME

[@tangoteflon1050]

Limitations sometimes better than the opportunity to do everything.it brings out creativity very strong.Anyway thanks for your words couldnt say it better .This is my favourite tune of all c64 games too.

[@borotaigor]

Listening to this great music right now.

[@JB-xg7io]

I always felt this was one of the best game soundtracks of any 8-bit game

[@CastleKnight7]

Agreed. It’s stood the test of time. Electronic magic.

[@aresaurelian]

[@markfowlermusic]

Uses ennio morricone theme here

[@shyviking]

Maybe not the best C64 game, but definately the best music.

[@LERobbo]

My C128 was hooked up to an amp. I would play this almost every day, all day. Drove my mom nuts 😂

[@nadavhar]

I still remeber this magical moment when the amazing nusic with this uniq dound start, it's like the c64 is sudenlly came a live and got personality , and you all with expectation waiting what will came next...i want to cry.... i simply fale in love my c128 .. it was so advanced back old time to hear this reach powetfull sound and graphic

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Yep along with Target Renegade, Rambo II has a brilliant soundtrack.

[@iOnline72]

I can still see myself as a kid listening to this music coming from my then awesome C64😁

[@nadavhar]

woow i was 10 years old , i remember this was a megacycle moment, i never imagine that my c64 could produce such a divine sound music

[@tonytg9099]

Martin Galway really started it all off when it come to pushing the SID, and still holds up today...so much passion in these tunes.

[@MrKarlyboy]

Such was the British talent in composing music, with one or two exceptions internationally (Jeroen Tel and a few others) the UK was a powerhouse in games development and music, and still is today in many areas. The bedroom programmers and composers was a true revolution! Nostalgic!

[@Mistrz_Niva]

This music is awesome! Childhood,come back!

[@jamesmiller4114]

When the loading music was better than the game itself - brings back memories from the early 80s

[@toddmason8364]

F'n Galway! Spent more time listening to this intro than playing the same, same with Parallax. OCEAN

[@StCreed]

Oh yeah. I could listen to parallax until the tune finished, sort of. That was about 10 minutes or so before it started again. The game was okay too. Very hard if you didn't have the manual and a clue :)

[@fodsaks]

Boy, my generation sure had some patience.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Golden days.

[@sammylenjou4235]

:D we had to

[@dereksmallsuk]

But not constant advertising!

[@AchtungBaby77]

I guess we didn't have a choice... you wanted to play a game, you had to wait! 😁

[@fuddrock]

This and commando were my fav go to's on our 64

[@1Garrett2010]

With the occasion of the new Rambo movie of 2019 (Rambo Last Blood) I watched all Rambo films. For me now is clear how Martin Galway put talent and really great passion on these tunes, at the point that emotion I get from these tunes is even superior (for me) from that I feel from the original soundtracks.

[@skynetsworld]

3:31 goosebumps!!! ... hell, i miss the time i had my C64 and all the games

[@LiViro1]

Ah, back when loading the game was almost as enjoyable as playing it!

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Wasn't that the case of most C64 games ;-)

[@bjorns1135]

I remember seeing that image as a kid going "That is SO realistic, how the hell did they even do that???". Why is there sadness to nostalgia?

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Because its a reminder of what was and many youthful years gone.

[@manzintoodeep1349]

Remember this game from c64 Hollywood pack with Miami vice .. Platoon .. Etc .. Got goose bumps!!!

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Cracking soundtrack, shows off the SIS beautifully.

[@aresaurelian]

[@sammylenjou4235]

I play these and other c64 and arcade games now on my laptop to relive my childhood. (Don't forget : Impossible mission ) Since then, my Xbox isn't used anymore. New games just never interested me as much.

[@DukeJon1969]

One of the all time great SID tunes. Shame the game itself wasn't all that ;(

[@myeffulgenthairyballssay9358]

This game was well hard. What a blast from the past. Awesome.

[@Hawthorne-Studios]

My bro knew the cheat that allowed the heli to outrun the Russian gunship! It was the easiest way of escaping at the end.

[@A37927]

Yours is a work of love, a feeling that I´m happy to share. Good for me I found your KZbin channel!

[@DanyWildTV]

hatte das spiel als tape game , auf der rückseite der kasette war der original titel theme vom film :D die sid version is auch mega

[@aws6591]

The key change at 1:48 is everything.

[@andyphilp8828]

i loved these games the chopper section was soooo hard at the time..lol

[@MrKneeoh76]

Use two joysticks. Then, in the last chopper section, pull one stick forward and the other back (might be the other way around).

[@Hawthorne-Studios]

@@MrKneeoh76 THATS THE ONE! LOL

[@Santor-]

There's a trick to it; just zigzag the helicopter the whole way, and your done! Just zigzag evenly.

[@snorman1911]

Some time in the 80s I saved my money and bought Gauntlet for the C64. It stopped working because of some kind of glitch with the copy protection, so i took it back and got Rambo instead. This game made me rage so bad!

[@dud0r]

Skidrow is still using this in their todays releases. Classic SID tune

[@mattomite9097]

Thank you for posting this. Lot of good and frustrating memories with this game lol.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Can complete it now in under 3mins! I would have hated that back in the day if I had bought it lol.

[@fordprefect80]

Great recording. I beat this back in the day (after many attempts) and man what fantastic tape loader and in game tunes.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Yeah I did a speedrun of it without cheats on my channel if you check it out, I beat the game in 2m59s!

[@Santor-]

I wasn't great at all games, fighting games I was terrible at. But this game, it's a 1-2-3-done to me. It's become second nature. Still remember exactly what to do to this day. Same as with goonies.

[@andrewpheasey3477]

I own all the Rambo.games from this one for commodore 64, the Rambo nes, Rambo 3 for the sega megadrive and as mentioned in last message the Rambo game for ps3. When me and my mrs go to Scarborough i was aleays go on the Rambo arcade they have there its fantastic!

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Andrew Pheasey Yes looking forward to RAMBO V as felt the closing credit music on the last Rambo film felt it was gearing up for another, do you own the fantastic tin dvd box of all 4 Rambo films?!...my prize posession as far as my dvd collection goes, but replaced the naff NTSC colour versions with the PAL ones in the box,...it was only released in a cardboard box here in PAL land so used the American tin box for my PAL discs. Ah Rambo III on megadrive, uploaded in full on my channel, in fact I will be uploading a "let's play" of it in a few days so keep an eye out :-D

[@maddogwalt]

Still play this game today.what a belter.we are C64......

[@kristinarain9098]

If Hubbard is king then Galway is God. Both amazing composers imo I loved this soundtrack even as a little kid and still appreciate it more in my later years. ❤ Thanks for the upload

[@Mralriga]

Masterpiece

[@fuddrock]

Maaan... this music/theme..all day...everyday

[@johnbarrett5268]

Still the greatest home computer of them all

[@MidlifeGamer]

You missed the 2 best tunes, when you rescue all the prisoners and when you get the chopper.

[@GouganeBarra-u4t]

0:53 seconds to 1:33 seconds is musical heaven.

[@canecreek00]

Takes me back, its the SID chip that got me into electronic music.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

That's what this channels about, zooming back 25+yrs and bringing memory tears ;-)

[@Rickybiker]

ZEUSDAZ - THE UNEMULATED RETRO GAME CHANNEL love this straight back to being 8yrs old again :) thankyou

[@ZEUSDAZ]

No probs :-)

[@rmthull]

Same here and then I discovered Jean Michel Jarre. Many of his early stuff was also on the C64 games.

[@zuulthemonster3222]

I never forgot about this lovely game!!

[@per-olaeriksson2589]

C64 Memories when they was best.

[@hippocrates72]

7:13 _Rambo II - _*_MAIN THEME_*

[@104d_3rr0r_vince]

when it started sounded like kraftwerk...

[@berrys5631]

Respect for al the old programmers in asmbler who make this computer games in the past

[@linuxstuff73]

This brings back memories. I played the shit out of this game as a kid and was a favorite. The soundtrack for it is so unforgettable too. It may be mostly first blood, but it's like also like a jam sessions where they ran wild and creative with it, which was great. To me this game showcased the SID chip nicely.

[@grootkormelink]

Thx Martin Galway!

[@lystic9392]

7:13 I love this bit, but I don't know what song it's based on.

[@Halligen1972]

Another Masterpiece from Mr. Galway. Ocean got big luck to had him on their side.

[@rolfingerbier]

SID Tunes never die.

[@johnbarrett5268]

This is how good the c64 was music as good as this on a home computer in the 1980s

[@drrobert7543]

You must under no circumstances engage the enemy! Uh...

[@thomasnee270]

Awesome upload. Obscure classic. Thanks.

[@frankkarner1702]

Martin Galway. The best Musican for me on the good old Friend C-64

[@jooei2810]

8-bit magic in its purest form.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Especially that soundtrack.

[@darmok072]

Jerry Goldsmith meets Martin Galway. What could be better? :-)

[@ZEUSDAZ]

...3 steamy up-for-it babes wanting nothing but you and to do anything you want?! ;-)

[@karlwesslau]

Somewhat low audio resolution - I don't feel the SID!! Thanks for uploading though, great tune. Nostalgia guaranteed.

[@Uamaretwot]

A real orchestra should cover this if one hasn't already.

[@siskokafa4410]

I played it around age 7 8 and it was very very hard to level.

[@kcs4212]

epiccccccc this brings back memories

[@ZEUSDAZ]

That's what this channel does ;-)

[@awsinc1]

2020 and still loving the key change at 0:22

[@andrewpheasey3477]

Amazing game! Love Rambo. Got the ps3 game. Can't understand why people slated it i throughly enjoy it. I own alot of Rambo merchandise from posters to t-shirts, figurine etc. Can't wait for Rambo Last Blood next year!

[@RoyBatty16]

So many memories of this game, but as others have stated, its the music, not the game itself. I love every track and enjoy the game from time to time but its short to say the least and doesn't have that 'one more go' factor.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Yep, one of the most memorable soundtracks ever on the C64, fantastic!

[@WSO83]

Blasting this out of a Sony Shake at maxxxxxximum decibels.. God bless my neighbours souls.. It's got to be done.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Thanks very much, i'm glad it you're enjoying it, i'm sure there's plenty more uploads on my channel that you'll enjoy :-)

[@aws6591]

Is the loading screen music / first tune from the actual movie? I need the original version in my life.

[@akaashrishi]

very competitive stuff for young child C64 / patiently waiting to load tapedeck

[@marcelcevani5688]

I love this tune! It breaks my 6502 emulator :( but i am working on it

[@samulis5725]

Amazing song!

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Great soundtrack throughout.

[@uksniper1]

i LOVED this game!!!...and getting chased by the russian hind helicopter was EPIC!!...Great upload m8...:)

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Yeah it has a great soundtrack, I'll be uploading the game in full soon :-) Please sub for future new vids and livestream notifications :-)

[@germanicdogman]

i remember the cheat for the hind level, 2 joy sticks one forward one back turbo boost across the sea

[@machucabotones]

Is there any way to know the history of this piece of music? I always thought it was part of the Rambo OST, but it seems that it's not a Jerry Goldsmith composition...

[@Buddy-po4hv]

Certain things never die

[@cintulator2]

Music just rocks nads!

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Couldn't agree more! :-)

[@dereksmallsuk]

Genius

[@ulirogosch3647]

Some of the inbetween harmonies could be from MUSE. They should do a cover of some sort😸

[@vjspectron]

6:35 at 1.25% speed is just great.

[@rottyboyduke1930]

Nostalgia

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Agreed.

[@rolfingerbier]

Martin Galway. A Genious!

[@webethere2]

Stone cold classic.

[@xTHESALTSHAKERx]

Dear God, what chance did we have...this drilled into us hour upon hour....getting groomed for a life of tech'ers and disco biscuits

[@Santor-]

What's a disco biscuit?

[@Mogsters]

The ultimate ocean loader

[@boggybogallow]

I used to love my c64. I remember once writing a song then programming it in machine code and vast amounts of pure data, lists of numbers between 0 and 255. Also made a porno game where you had to guide a little man to catch and fuck a fleeing woman. Teenage fiascos lol.

[@j.a.h.vandelaak3477]

Gus Flannagan lol!

[@johnbarrett5268]

Game was ok but superb music

[@akaashrishi]

3.35 : Hall of Fame

[@montygill2835]

Brilliant

[@markustiilikainen5427]

What a memmories❤

[@DukeJon1969]

amazing SID tune, one of Martin Galway's best ;) 13:17

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Yeah this game has cracking music.

[@div-64]

The high score song is lovely. No fancy tricks.. just 3 emotive little voices.

[@nickyborg2170]

ROB HUBBARD SAID BEST SID COMPASSION EVER HE IS RIGHT

[@DDaSilva1980]

There should have been a game based on First Blood with Rambo, equipped with his knife, machine gun and fighting skills, taking on Teasle and his men.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

That would have been interesting would probably have been terrible being computer games back in 1982 were preety bad.

[@stnomad]

Thanks for this!

[@scottporter4871]

Anyone know why c64 games wouldn't load and then load when you literally did the same thing each time?

[@jimh1998]

Yep it was called the 1980s 🤣👌

[@marionoss6614]

I remember the good old times the 80s 😁😂👍

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Yep magical if you were growing up as a youngster in them.

[@davebaker7585]

7:13 on is my ringtone.

[@gezzaf6912]

Martin Galway you legend

[@ZEUSDAZ]

No problem :-)

[@andysmanbag]
