STIL comment	"I used to love playing this arcade machine when we had got it at the offices at Elite, those Easter Island type stone heads that flew towards you were especially effective. The original in game tune had got a memorable melody so I decided to stick to it. The middle section of my version may be original though, the tune plays a little faster than on the arcade machine. This was due to the fact that my routine didn't contain a fractional timer at that point. Speeds were determined by the shortest note length which could be 1,2,3 or 4 etc. The speed differences were thus 100%, 50,33% etc. with no in between values. The rest of the tunes in the set are original compositions I think, maybe tune 2 was close to the arcade version." (MC)

OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

Zilog:
An absolute knckout for me ; so sweet… Respect for making an innovative/ yet respectful remix of this classic… Ain't no musician so I don't grasp the apparently horrendous flaws, but to the Beotian I am, it just sounds and feels GOOD
Anbalsilfer:
This is great! It really retains the naïve catchiness of the original while adding to it in completely novel but utterly harmonizing ways! Wonderfully done!
BabyKool:
Revisiting this classic with great innovations in the melody
LaLa:
Great arrangement, but the lead sound is too sharp. Tone it down or transpose it.
Chainsaw:
Okayish…
Machine:
Nahh, I quite like this actually, restrained unlike the original, could do with maybe a faster BPM and a thicker body. Good nontheless.
Mayhem:
Starts off pretty well but the lead… Far too thin and reedy sadly.
chilli_uk:
Should up the bpm a lot - the original was so much faster - its ok but flat at that speed - cant see aliens hurtling to me at the speed your playing it and where is Welcome to the fantasy zone - get ready?
Melaure:
Starts well but the lead instrument… Eek
Master Baator:
I don't know if to call this weird or ingenius. The composition is intelligent; a good start with nice middle sections and a suitable end, but the choice of instruments and the production are terrible. Try listening to it with headphones. My ears bleed
xgener8or:
Sounds a bit strange, the soudns are all over the place, not sure if they are distorting or what, sometime extremely soft, abut lots of pumping going on, maybe overly compressed?
condor:
I love the start, it has great moments, but lead sound really ruins it a lot. If it were softer, and mixing a bit better it could have orange/red smiley from me. Listen to moog lead sounds, you'll see what I mean.😊
nummer2:
The arrangment is good its never boring or something but it sounds terrible sry
Tyler Durden:
I really wanted to like this - it starts off so dreamy and then the choice of instruments don't mix well together.
c64glen:
Shows promise but could do with some more work. Also The mixing isn't great,
