STIL comment"Last V8 was a simple futuristic game and so I was off into Jarre land.... I purposely wrote the 2 melody lines to work off one voice to make it sound like more than 1 voice." (RH) The Last V8 was the first game released by Mastertronic's new label MAD (Mastertronic's Added Dimension). Due to the fact they wanted the launch to coincide with the release of the Last V8, the game was rush released and therefore unfortunately had a bug, where the main theme music (subtune #1) falls out of synch at around the one minute mark. Upon closer investigation, this is due to a mere seven bytes of the music player code being incorrect. This SID has those bytes corrected.

I've had this tune running on repeat for half an hour now, and I really enjoy the frantic, upbeat tempo. The composition is really well done, however I miss a Last V8, return to your base - immediatly! -sample at the beginning 😊.
Chainsaw:
Great! First the piano intro, then the
NostalGuy:
This is an OK trance remix of Last V8, although I actually like the original SID version better. But that's probably cause it's Hubbard, hehee…
XxDUSTYxX:
The piano-part up to 2:10 is very good, but the dancepart is not my cup of tea, sorry.
LaLa:
Great piano intro, great bold new arrangement throughout, but the instrument selection could've been better in the dancey part.
vhold:
I liked the transition. The subtle and then sudden introduction of synth…
condor:
Nice from start, I just don't like sound sellection in 4x4 part.
Shark:
Good remix sounded fine but felt like there where two tracks just stuck together but other wise good, my favourite v8 tune is slow poison’s version got it spot on.
YogibearRenoise:
I keep coming back to this RMX so it must be good!
nummer2:
Hmm for me the intro sounds not so good then later it kicks 😃 maybe its standart dance stuff but I like it
Amok:
Nice tune, poor mastering
chilli_uk:
Starts of like a flightpath 747 - then when one of the best sids kicks in some of the notes are wrong - I think its raw and can be made a lot better - good in theory just not working yet! The v8 itself is not as DARK ans haunting as the sid was! Sorry!
vurtx:
Its ok but there's distortion on the piano intro, better EQ and mastering would help this.
Bingo:
Piano intro is good, but then the style changes drastically and turns bad…
Skitz:
Starts out promising but just ends up as an average 4x4 dance tune
RemixFan:
One bad Remix of one of the best SID
