Your song-of-the-day, based on your current mood

I really liked 2030 when I was a kid, now that I’m older I’m pretty scared. I mean, not only because 2030 (the year) is closer to today than 2030 (the song), but also because some of the “prophecies” completely changed in meaning.

For example, Ambra as president was meant to be laughable, but it’s way better than what we have now.

in 12 years, she will enter in politics… just wait… :smiley:

Anyway, the part in which they say:
“[…] first they divided north and south, then city and city,
and think, now everyone is closed in his own room, the intolerance dance”

…is nowadays almost real :frowning:

I remember that at the time the whole “north/south” secession was pretty strong.

Now Italy’s all united against a new enemy: foreigners :stuck_out_tongue:

And those pesky austrians trying to take south tyrol from you without asking first.

Back in the end of the 80s, there was a horizontal scrolling shoot’em up game which had a fantastic intro music. When I loaded that game, on my Amiga 500, I stood still, listening to the intro music.

Best listened with hearphones, since it’s a real 2-channels split.

I liked the C64 version more. :slight_smile: The orchestral version of the Amiga intro isn’t bad too:

Never heard before. I’m listening to it now, it’s totally different from the Amiga one.

Indeed. :slight_smile: I don’t know why they haven’t converted the Amiga intro music to the C64 (or vice versa). But most of the other Rainbow Arts games used different tunes on the Amiga and the C64. One example is the Turrican series where the C64 music is completely different.

To me, the Turrican tune is ONLY the one of the Amiga Version:

Excellent!

Yes, IMHO the Turrican Amiga music is definitely better than the C64 version. :slight_smile:

Yeah, but that C64 intro speech is still a classic!

Oh, yes! Some in-game tunes are also very good. :slight_smile:

Which Turrican game was it the basically lifted tunes from the Transformers movie? Was it the second one?

It was the intro of the first game:

/edit: btw: On the “Turrican Soundtrack Anthology Vol. 1” is a Vince DiCola - Transformers Medley 2013 :slight_smile:
