I have been looking at this DSLR camera since it came out just some weeks ago. It is a normal DSLR at 21 Mpixels but it also features full 1080p HD video recording. Here is a link to a video made with this camera, please notice the music...

I was almost as surprised as when I was flung backwards because of the loading screen sound from WOTEF (I was fiddling with the tape deck's azimuth and had the audio at max volume, ie ~11). I didn't know this was a cover, but I can see it is in the STIL :)

I was surprised to hear this track out in the real world too - it was while I was on holiday in Florida many years ago. There were some acrobats performing at Epcot - to the Exploding Fist music! :D

Is the exploding fist music made on the SID first or is this an old chinese original piece that has been covered with the SID? ;)
Just a thought :P
Pretty cool though:D

Don't think it was Neil Brennan, although he has certainly done some similar-ish, but I couldn't find it as one of his, so I think you're right with the 'Liu Tieshan and Mao Yüan' thing, I'm trying to find it now but no luck yet :-/

Neil Brennan did the *C64* cover for Way of the Exploding Fist... that's the text from STIL explaining where the *original* came from.
