Excellent, groovy rendition of my favourite LN song. One nag: it's too short! :o)
Not bad! Only minus point is that the tune started getting on my nerves after listening several times. But I like the SIDish sounds.

Overall rating

A very nice, synthetic remake. Really cool. I really don't have much to say, I'm not too familiar with the original, since I - apparently as one of the few in the world - never played Last Ninja very much.

Anywho, I just wanted to point out the coolness of using an Ensoniq ESQ1 to make a C64-remake on, since the designer of the SID, Bob Yannes, went to work for Ensoniq after leaving Commodore… So basically, he also designed the ESQ1 - IIRC…

But, a great remake. Straight to the nostalgia-bone!
