Ah the fabled fourth voice by modulating the 4 bit volume register. Those were good days!

weird..i can't get it working with Vice 3.7 with XUM1541 on my 1541-II drive. and the OpenCBM works fine... do someone knows about it ?

I now have the original pal version here in Australia, with copy protection intact, and on a pal machine, it plays at the same tempo as in this video, however, when I first encountered this game, it was a cracked version that my friend had, which played the intro music at the slower speed that some are used to. So, in the early days, at least, an easy way of telling if someone was using a crack was to listen to the speed of the intro music. Some more recent cracks, however, don't have this problem and will play at the proper tempo.

I were a UFC fighter...this would be my walkout song. The exact sound, bit, quality, etc. 👍

Back when Electronic Arts meant what its' name bore... a masterpiece of Electronic Art and not some cash-grab shell of its' former quality and self. The Trip Hawkins years were the best. (Nice guy, BTW!)

Fired up the old vcr for the first time in 10 or 15 years. It still works! I'm finding old night lines shows that I recorded on vhs tape .Need to get them transferred to audio files and up on you tube. Would pick it up across lake Erie from a London Ontario station 100.5 fm. WOW, The hour of Power, The spotlight feature Spot lite. This tape its The Jam live.

I used to listen to this and brave new waves from Toledo, Ohio on 89.9 cbc radio back in the 80s and 90s. I still tune in. They always supply the best oddball over the air music.

There's a damn fine chance I had this only because I copied it from someone else. I had some GREAT copy software from my teenage friends. This whole soundtrack is embedded IN MY HEAD. I am now 51. It's STILL THERE. The synth arpeggios, the heavy guitar chords, the bass lines... Dammit this is FUCKING AWESOME!

Man PCs really did sound a whole lot different back then I don’t know what it is about them, but they just sound more grand especially the Amiga

Thanks for sharing this video. Works with my ZoomFloppy and 151

I loved this game. Funny concept.

The NTSC version! Thank you!

Those times... When Electronic Arts' label was a badge of honor.

8-Bits 4 Ever!

but when I reboot vice or PC lost disk drive connection with 1541 drive???? why???

Okay, who else back in the day didn't start the game right away so they could bop out to the awesomeness of this intro? I couldn't have been the only one. And I played bass as a kid. I damned sure played the bass line from 2:56 on often.

I wish there was a huge archive of all the Nightlines and all the BraveNewWaves...

I used to listen every weekend to this and also loved BRAVE NEW WAVES. I'm 60(last month) and still have a NIGHTLINES tee I won in 1995. Won one back in 88 too but I don't have it anymore. Those music bit contests I miss SO MUCH!! Somewhere I still have a signed photo of you. Hope you and Brent are well and I miss both shows SO MUCH!! Great memories. Hello from Halifax. (We had to stay up REALLY LATE out here.lol.)

<---Turns volume all the way up 0:35 AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Are the animated borders an unintended side effect when playing the samples via SID trickery? Or is it intentional?

The track is so grand and awesome that the border even dances along

:) Old Time bby

I heard real guitar samples (although low quality)

Thanks for preserving the NTSC aspect ratio, too. C64 was only 16:10 in PAL countries, but here in the States, it was thinner than 4:3.

Man this song is timeless! 2:32 just hits different!

I’m from the US but I always listened to this, along with Brave New Waves and many other CBC radio shows, back in the 90s because my family had one of those big satellite dishes and we somehow stumbled upon listening to CBC. They called it “CBC Stereo” at the time. I wish there was an archive of all those shows somewhere online.

Great memories

Is this the original song? If it is, sweet!

Where's the voice saying *"Skate. Or. Die. **_Die die die die die._** "*

I'm here from Caddicarus

My Jr High computer class teacher let us play this whenever we wanted to but you had to have the volume turned all the way down because he would kick you out of the classroom if he heard this song.

sounds pretty rough, but after reading enough youtube comments, this IS the superior version

I Always thought it was wild thing from the troggs instead of louie louie from the kingsmen

I approve

This tasty morsel is a treat, but... Does the CBC just plain stink these days?

So, everything the BBC has ever recorded has been archived for posterity, right? The Canucks couldn't have done the same? Signed, Disappointed American Listener in Michigan.

this is the C64 version not the nes one -.-

It confused the lobby. Mwhaaa!

Love the cheesy anologness of this song

Greetings from a PAL country. The NTSC version is much better. And awesome. This feels right.

So much better than the DOS "music".

Remember when c64 only cost £2.99 😁

Yeah! The Last Ninja 2! YEAHHH! YEAH!!!

It blows my mind that the C64 sound board only had 3 voices but that Rob Hubbard managed to pull this song off. If I'm not mistaken, it sounds like he laid the percussion and base notes between each other on the same track. That's some aggro shit right there!

This game was a fun 2 player game I was good at it

Video starts at 0:35

The most impressive thing was that Rob Hubbard took samples of real instruments, which allowed him to be very creative with the power of the SID chip. Kouji Murata and Konami made a fairly respectful effort when trying to adapt the music to the NES’s 2A03 chip, but Rob took HUGE strides when he did the music for Skate or Die 2, which was exclusive to the NES.

The Virgin NES and the Chad C64

I feel this title theme is much more epic than regular skateboarding. It makes you feel like a hero/heroine.

Awesome!!!
