The good old days music form C64, Amiga & Atari

The first time I heard the in game musical ability of Commodore 64, Amiga and Aari St I was amazed. My love of the sound comes back every now and then so I went looking for original sounds which I didn't find but luckily I came across this site which hosts remixs of lots of different game music. Its good so here have a look if this floats your boat LOL

Turrican 2 had the best music, followed by Apidya!

No way, Team17's Project X on the Amiga!

Or, the Shadow of the Beast games.

Project X was good

Xenon 2 was better.

Does anyone remember the blood money soundtrack from the intro?

I did some serious google searching and managed to find it a while back.

Wings of Fury had the best sound of Japs dying when you shot or bombed them

Some Justice by Urban Shakedown was also made on an Amiga 500

Best game music, I reckon, was Turrican II, and it was a wicked game too.

my favourite C64 music was probably the intro to speedball 2. although creatures and jet set willy 2 also had some good tunes.

I had it on C64 initially, and got the Amiga version when I became the proud owner of an A500. Was disappointed with the Amiga version though!

I remember being the proud owner of an external floppy drive for the A500

Speedball was a favourite but can't remember if it was on Amiga.

I recommend a musician (drummer, french) called duracell.

Probably the best thing I've ever seen live. Basically (very basically!) he's a one man band, who plays mainly 8 bit music. He uses drum hits to trigger samples. He cuts the song up into a million pieces, and then triggers all of those pieces live with the drums.

Truly truly original.
