Since the original tune had these really heavy digi-drums, I decided to experiment a bit with these really sharp and slappy snares, followed by standard, but higher pitched 909-drumkits, with a very high compression ratio, and adding these little nuskool retrig stuffs.
Not all tune parts are covered, the beginning theme comes back at the end because I didn't like the rest of the original, so I brought back the beginning patterns with some extra melodies I figured from the rest of the song.

An interesting thing is the game itself. It was prolly the first game I really noticed the music in because the digi-samples sounded so tough and heavy. It was probably the first game where I looked for the name of the composer, and since then I was able to say, yes, the music is good, it's Hülsbeck (The another one was prolly Thing Bounces Back)

The game itself was rather bad if you consider other games in the same genre, it was basically a screen with two wizard-like thingies shooting each other. What really killed the game was a special move, that made the character release a Pac-Man-like chomping thingy which started to pursuit the enemy and it was reasonably faster than the player, so it was only a matter of time before the chomper ate the opponent. This reducted the game to the who-can-shoot-that-spell-first-and-then-run-away-as-long-as-possible level, which was a shame because of the great music.
