Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but this sounds like a Tyrian song, especially the beginning of it.

nope. It's Karsten Obarski's cracktro music to Crystal Hammer.

Ah, my bad. thanks for clearing that up.

I have that game. Heh. The ball never actually deflected in a predictable direction.

That's a ringtone, BTW? Wonders never cease.

I think geona is right, it does sound reminicient of Tyrian. Did you ever play that game? I rather liked it, particularly the first level music. Hm, I should probably request someone remix it on OC Remix or something. < ^.^ >

Ah, for goodness sake! I've gotten sidetracked and forgotten to comment on the actual piece again! < >.<;>

Well, I like it. Quite a bit too. It's got the sound to it of a tune from a console, without being the kind of thing I'd call a 'chip tune'. It sounds like something you could expect the Megadrive to produce, I mean, rather than older consoles. Mm, now I think of it, there are parts in it that sound like something Psygnosis might put in their games. Wonder what happened to them? They had some great games and composers.

Psygnosis went bust...last game I remember them making was G-Police 2...which wasn;t as good as the first =/

Ahh, that's a shame. I shall look into this G-Police thing tho, so thanks for the info. < ^.^ >

Playstation game. Quite fun.

Basic premise - Callisto, a moon of Saturn (I belive) is colonised by Earth as a way of expanding the human race and find new resources since Earth is drying up.
You're a member of the G-Police, a task force set up to combat crime in the city. You're in control of the Havoc gun ship.

It was good fun, damn hard and had an entertaining story. The second one improved the gameplay, but had a crappy story.

I might have played tyrian for about 2 seconds as a kid.

Very cool piece!
If I had a mobile phone new enough to accept ring tones (Yeah, it's THAT old) I'd definitely use this. As for now, I'll just have to content myself with putting it in my music folder.

Holy shit. I'm gonna buy a phone.
