C64 fans?

#1 Post by Calippo-Man »

Stumbled across this ages ago so apologies if its been mentioned before. If you are old enough to have owned a C64 you might want to listen to this Home and Dry/Warhawk remix. Personally, I think its a pretty clever remix but then I love the old SID tunes...

It's a really good mix. Probably my favourite version of Home and Dry.

Check out these sites for other C64 remakes.

Unfortunately I must say that I didn't hear anything, but of course I remember C64.

Very cool. :D I love SID music.

Actually I remember there was meant to be a Pet Shop Boys game for C64/Spectrum/Amstrad. It got cancelled.

It's off beat if that wasn't the case it would have been rather good.

It's really amazing how they pitched Neil's vocals, into a minor mode! It's somehow even MORE a PSB-song this way! Great stuff.

ah, but are you regressing or being true to yourself. Might buy an XBox 360 if I get a good xmas bonus, although I am getting a Wii as well. Sod the PS3
Still waiting to hear the Adam Freeland, Manhattan Clique and Axwell mixes of Integral.

I had a C64 many, many years ago. What fun waiting 10mins for a game to load only for it to crash! How things have moved on in that time. I had Ghostbusters, it was great. There was a space invaders game you could play while it loaded. The ultimate in cheese but brilliant! :D
