   Daglish (along with Martin Galway) is perhaps my favourite composer of that era.

   System 3 really knew how to push that C64 soundchip.

   Thanks for the memories.

   ahhhh this was brilliant. Thank you! This and Matt Grays’ Last Ninja 2 were classics. Bit of useless info – Matt Gray has gone onto quite a career in pop music, including co-writing “Believe” By Cher.

   …but don’t hold that against him.

   Last Ninja was one of the first games I persevered with and finished.

   Oh and the ol’ SID chip produced some fo the createst gaming music ever heard. Some favourites…
   – Wizball
   – Creatures
   – Retrograde
   – Head over Heels (intro)

   Oh to be 10 again.

   Oh yeah, now we’re talking. You’ve just become my favourite Kotaku.au contributor Dan!

   For those who love this sort of stuff, I can’t recommend the awesomeness that is Slay Radio (http://www.slayradio.org/) any more than is possible. Also worth checking out the Blibb Blobb chiptunes podcast (http://blibbblobb.untergrund.net/) on iTunes – They haven’t updated in a while, but the 26-odd podcasts available are full of solid chiptune stuff from the C64 right through to the Amiga & Atari ST.

   For the record I was always a Rob Hubbard fan, loved everything he put out (even if the games were a touch naff).

   I sucked at those games but I loved them. Music is very awesome.
