STIL comment"Once I had finished on 'Roland's Rat Race', which took a month, [Ocean] agreed to suspend my tasks as a programmer and my employment as game sound guy began." (MG) "[...] the sounds are a bit poor. I didn't develop pulse-width modulation until the next project, which at the time was called 'Cyclone'. It later came out as 'Helicopter Jagd'. On 'Roland's Rat Race' I guess you could say I was still mastering the C64. It was January/February 1985, my first project on staff at Ocean (I had done quite a few before that as a freelancer but they weren't comfortable employing someone SOLELY TO DO MUSIC... those were the days!)." (MG)

bastard:
Thanks for a remix of a classic, sure there is room for improvement, but keep up the work!
LaLa:
Wacky! Zany! The mix is on the simple side and the piece gets a little boring towards the end due to lack of variations, but it remains enjoyable, nevertheless.
