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'm with omoroca considering this remix. Despite the mistakes, the power and your personal style comes through and that's great.

Well done! Even better than your Giana Sisters!

I'm in awe when it comes to 0:34. Occasional mistakes here and there, but overall, great arrangement, great playing technique!

A very exciting and atmospheric rendition I really like the bite on that that piano sound very well done
ulfepulf:
Nice work!
Boz:
Great to hear some live piano playing, and this is a great cover of The Last V8. Good job Christian!
weasel:
Not totally on the notes though… This kills the feeling a bit sadly-wise for me. But nice idea though. Maybe a re-recording with more accuracy on the whole?? Would be great!😀
