No it isn't you fool. Dedication is not talent. Yes, the ability to put that much focus into something and produce this, but thats not a talent. Talent is innate, people are born with it, skill is something you learn. I could do this and you could make this too, but neither of us have the drive to put this much effort into something like that. ​@meamtheme3550

[@M0rinkashi]

@@themikep82 It is possible on real original hardware, it says it in the description.

[@MMSZoli]

@@themikep82 actually with dual SID and a REU (RAM upgrade) it could be possible, I think. One SID would do the music, the other sings with SAM. The rest is just the question of RAM, though on C64 is is slower to change between HIRES/MULTI pictures due to shared color RAM, while on Plus/4 it could be done very easily and fast just by changing few registers.

[@RetroSpexx-yt]

This is 100% the best cover of this song that I've ever heard! OK so I'm a retro gaming geek and C64 SID tunes appeal to me, but that aside, the amount of emotion that is still present in the synthesised vocals is truly unbelievable... Great work!

When you finally get to the boss level with 1hp and no continues and he blacks out the screen and it slowly reveals your dead master with angel wings looking down at you in disappointment for your vengeance. Not only is the boss fight unwinnable but you are racked with guilt for your choices up until then.

S.A.M. is a perfect choice for this. When someone is completely overwhelmed with what they are going through, their emotions can absolutely flatline and they can act like unfeeling robots, even as they take that final step to end the pain, almost like they aren't even in control of their own bodies.
