After about 18 months away, dealing with a couple of, (let's just say 'life-altering' issues), I've just uploaded a short cinematic re-imagining of the music for the opening wave of 'Nemesis'. As I've written in the track-notes, The C64 music accompaniment to this arcade conversion disappointed me greatly at the time. 'Nemesis' was and probably still is, my favourite shoot 'em up, (Slap-fight is pretty good too) and the really poor soundtrack on the C64 version stopped me ever playing it... I've said before, in an interview with C64.com...
"Were there any particular games that you would have liked to work on or converted from arcade?"
"Oh God, yeah! Just one! NEMESIS! I loved that tune. I spent fortunes on the arcade machine and that opening music used to make my heart soar. When the C64 conversion came out, Paulie and me were at Ocean. I can't remember who ran out and bought it, but I remember a crowd of us all clustered around a TV-screen and the loader finished... And my heart sank. It was so disappointing! No feel to it! It was thin and weedy and not even transcribed properly. Awful! It's one of my favourite pieces of computer music and I will do a remix of it at some point."
So, as always.. All comments welcome... (and if you listen and think it deserves a lower mark then at least put a comment on with your reasons
