STIL comment"I just tried to come up with a crazy way of settling on a beginning note (my favourite beginning note of course, G - almost everything I do is in G). So I plugged in this echoing waveform thing and let it rip. The tune isn't particularly Chinese sounding, but I was working on producing that 'perfect melody', the one you'd be humming all day, you know. That was a phase I went through. [...] The sound I was converting from was itself a conversion of the arcade cabinet, which I have NEVER SEEN. It sounded like it was a lame conversion too, so I easily did a better sounding version. (The MSX's music only used two notes at once, for example.)" (MG) The MSX version of the game was the original release on cartridge in 1985. Therefore Martin Galway's recollection is covering the MSX release, as this game did not get an arcade release.

Great remix, Eivind 😊

This is wonderful. It highlights Martin's beautiful melody perfectly. Love the reimagining of the chaotic end to the original. This is a real treat for the ears.
