Holy SID, this is one of the grandest and most epic Artist Features by far, the legacy of Jereon Tel is absolutely glorious and it's great he is a legend of the C64 era and just VGM in general. And the amount of history that is left is fantastic and I love every bit of info and facts to the songs he did, the soundtracks he's made, his sound he crafted, and overall just giving a reason to remember so much about Video Game Music, his C64 era is without a doubt his greatest and what he will be remembered for, and of course my goodness the amount of titles he has to his name, definitely a large amount, and what is even more impressive is how quality each one is, obviously some hit harder and better than others but overall I loved every piece he has done for the C64. So I knew this was going to be a top notch Mix! Your transitions, additions, and overall mixing to these tracks is just godlike, for how large this feature was I was enthralled all the way to the end, which I love me long listening sessions and when AF's get to this length like the Tim Follin and Frank Klepacki features. Of course so much of his C64 work I got into with his popular and well known stuff, Turbo Outrun, Outrun Europa, Eliminator, Myth, Cybernoid 1 & 2 (very impressed they didn't make the cut but of course I understand the way the mix flowed was probably hard decision leaving them off, but again anyone that knows Tel knows the songs from those), Golden Axe (and holy hell I love stuff knowing he did basically most the OST overnight, and with how accurate and fitting it is to the C64, probably my favorite versions of the music), Rubicon, RoboCop 3, and of course I mean literally most featured here I've heard and getting into more of his Demo's and anything that was a SID file that had his name on it I listened to it! His NES work is one of the greatest lineups on the console when he got the chance to work on it, very interesting considering he started very late in the consoles life making music for it, but his quality makes it seem like he knew the NES back to front, of course his knowledge and hardcore composing method for the C64 made it no problem. RoboCop 3's Title Theme is still one of the greatest, and fun seeing him confirm on multiple videos of the NES/C64 title theme uploads of him composing the NES version first where for awhile most people thought he did the C64 version first. Technocop (so happy the music lives on from it), Alien 3, Overlord, Beauty and the Beast, and of course Bram Stoker's Dracula, all so amazing, Dracula without a doubt being one of the most perfect creepy, moody and atmospheric OST's on the NES, Tel really got everything out of that soundchip in his style! And gosh just everything in the 90's he was involved in so many interesting projects and just doing his thing. That Soundmakers CD is such a neat piece of history, and love that "Play Your Game" track, the transition of it also into the "Placemat Power" is probably one of my most favorite and hype inducing moments on this channel, I just love the beat and rhythm of that song it's so dance inducing (also hello Tel did a CD-i title? Neato!). And Winter Gold is a perfect OST, I've always felt so, so fun and hype. And wow Hello 1997 hit me so emotionally in ways I would have never expected, those XM tracks are FIRE! And gosh I feel so bad the GBC titles he worked on got cancelled but happy the music lives on, that's again some of his greatest work, the GBC amazingly feels so perfect for C64 composers. Crimson's Mystery, Hard Truck & Katharsis all have great OST's and Rhino Rumble & Warlocked that got released are stellar, also again holy moly that transition into "Cave", blown away at so many amazing transitions here. Even as Tel moved away from composing for actual games, into the 2000's and beyond he still produced amazing music, and has accomplished so much in talent and quality. Context of him losing his parents around that time makes listening to all from then on here in the mix so emotionally driving and my waterworks get going, and god damn he still just has a passion and thrive for making great Music whether VGM related or not, but love it still always being associated with him in some form. So great he shared that last song for this mix, I've had the pleasure of talking directly to Tel before and having conversations. He was always thankful and happy to see how much people loved his work, and even admired what I was doing with his work on my 8BitStereo versions, which really inspired a lot for me to keep going with that. So thank you so much anosci for the time and effort on this Artist Feature, and glad to see Tel has been here in the comments and hope he knows how much VGM he's done and just everything with it does incredible stuff for people, really hope this climbs more in views because as always your work is underrated as heck. Much continued love from just a dorky VGM lover and enthusiast. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎
Jeroen Tel is an absolute legend. The fact that he could squeak out such amazing melodies and rhythms from machine code is amazing. I can only imagine the patience and dedication required.
How the hell do you write something like that by age 14. insane. Fantastic artist feature, dude. Always great to find out great artists I didn't know about.
Jeroen Tel one day was approached by certain people calling him a liability Jeroen explained in an interview. Fortunately he signed the contract although he was given very little money they didn't do bad things to him.
Great ! You should do an episode about Alberto José Gonzalez (a.k.a Mc Alby). He did awesome and catchy soundtracks on Gameboy (also on SNES for Asterix & Obelix / on NES for the Smurfs and Asterix) : Tintin in Tibet, Tintin prisoners of the sun, The Smurfs' Nightmare, the Turok series, Marvin strikes back... all are great !
When I composed that (post C64 era, on a Commodore 64 (emulator), so many years later, with somehow a little more knowledge about music and techniques... it makes sense. ;-)
It's funny how things stick with you. I recognised "Jeroen Tel" but couldn't figure out why until I saw it in the FT2 footage with Wave next to his name. Great video as always, thank you 🙂
No-one really gets it... =D People are juggling "Maniacs of Noise", "Jeroen Tel", "WAVE" and whatever alter ego or "brandings" are around, but it's still me. =)
my favourite thing about jeroen tel is that in all the uploads of his tracks, all the covers, etc. he’s always in the comments chatting to everyone who enjoys his music :) game composers from around this era are usually very illusive but jeroen’s always happy to talk about his work. he’s one of the greats!!
Also... my own commentary: Winter Gold for the SNES uses Software Creation's sound driver (specifically, it's from Paul Tonge), not SLICK/Audio. SLICK/Audio was only used in NBA Jam.
Now you mentioned it, it came screaming back to me! After all these years and projects, some info must have slipped through... I remember talking to Paul Tonge about this very project at the time... Good to correct it here! =)
Stranglehold and Letting Go are the stand out tracks for me, I spent countless hours playing with the samples and techniques in FT2 back in the day. Amazing video and mix as always.
Ow the memories... From being in awe of his SID tunes to dissecting his FT2 XM-files, so many hours of listening to this man's work. Great tribute and mix!
Wow! So nice to mention! I got stuck up in music and video games, rather than real life... not entirely true, because I had a wild life because of it, but everything has its price. ;-)
Jeroen Tel I still ❤️ Pools of Poison: that bassline and swing rythm gives me a smile every time I play it. And that nice little "uh" vocal, great stuff.
Awesome mix of some of Jeroen's best works. The tunes flow so naturally, it's unreal. Also nice insightful notes on the context of each song. Thanks for your work on this
Legendary mix. The transitions are so clean! And what a discography this fellow Dutchie has. Inspired a generation, and another one. Jeroen's probably a big chunk of why I'm diving back into C64 right now. Been having a blast listening to the FM'ified versions of a whole slew of artist's SID tunes.. It would be fun to speculate about how Jeroen's music would have sounded if oh, let's say an OPL3 on the userport would have been a thing back in the days.. Luckily we have awesome add-on hardware these days that does roughly that (FM-Yam). Thanks so much for the homage and showcase GST. You are amazing!
Who cares, it is what it is... although it HAS been covered, anyway... I have a big follow-up picture, which I can't post here, apparently... The newly released Commodore 64... right next to PS4's... on pallets... 37 years later, that's pretty impressive. =D
Jeroen will always be one of my top 3 favourite composers! His music never ceases to amaze. So Mr. Tel! Keep rockin man! You've inspired me and plenty others.
Thanks, ItsT3K... I wanna get a certain project out of the way (Tel Me More) and then I will explode into a manic (maniac) rage of composing tunes again... ... ... (Tel Me More has caught very bad attention to some, which is killing me producing wise (because when I release a track outside that project, some trollers troll all the way, but I will just clear it and move on... ) =D
@@JeroenTel Understandable. Also I tried messaging you on Messenger a while back. I felt like my messenger stopped working (my poor phones dying quickly)
@@T3KNUG3T5 Nah... that wasn't it... I am way behind on that... the project is in slow motion right now, because I have an Amazon day-job now... haha! (to actually support the project)... (sigh)... nonetheless the Tel Me More project is pretty close to it's final form (music and production wise)... and from then on... dream away. ¶=)
What a fantastic mix! I cant imagine how much time must have gone into this. You really outdid yourself this time, GST! So many soundtracks I have to check out now, Turbo outrun, robocop 3, warlocked, golden axe... I guess it's easy to say this on new years eve, but if I could chose one favorite youtube video of the year, this would be it. Thank you!
I've got to take my hat off to this incredible and professional guy. Though there are many other good musicians out there, Jeroen Tel will always be my favorite Commodore 64 composer. Of all the hundreds of C64 game music I have of his, the title to "Myth" and the remix of that that he himself made both went into my Top 10 collections of Commodore 64 music. It needed to be music that I just never get tired of listening to so I was extremely fussy about which C64 music made it into the Top 10. And "Myth" was it.
This was a blast to listen to, so many great tracks. And I had to make a pause and listen to Robocop 3, on both chips. I remember it playing on many demoparties, I never really got a chance to hear the NES version. I still think the SID version is better :)
Jereon will agree with you on that ;) he composed the NES version first but then expanded on it with the additional features of the SID. He's gone on record saying that the SID version is the better version, in his eyes.
Thanks for a great video and quite the fantabulous mix if I may say so. His work is easily amongst my cherished music collection, from the C64 to PC trackers. Looks like I have some catching up to do. Greetings from #trax of the 90/00s WAVE. I almost feel like an enthusiastic keyboard musician again. Maybe I'll grab that tracker-midi-editor script(Hackey Tracker) for Reaper and have some fun again. But can I find my sample disks?
Hey man, great to see you here. #trax days were the best music fun computer composers could have with all the wicked compos and silly mIRC guys & galls around... I look back at it with great joy! If you go back to tracking, why don't you give Renoise a chance... it's absolutely great... I hope you'll find your sample disks... haha! =D Greetings from the NL and who knows we'll meet again in the Future... =)
I would (with respect to the creator of this video interview-ish kind of thing), give him some grants for not covering that part of it... he (and I) were on a time-limit during the making of this... X-mas time... sick times!!! (We struggled to meet up since he was in the USA and I am in Europe... we still met up 6 hours a day, despite that.... =) Maybe a second roller coaster for the next round? =D
lol just know that The Home Visit is Jeroen's work. that sounds very good! (actually imma sample The Home Visit and 911 for some samples for me to use in OpenMPT stuffs haha
I hear a little bit of Stranglehold in Hello 1997, what a cool little touch. I think I heard a bit of that one bit of bassline from Stranglehold II as well, although I'm not sure if that came out before or after Hello 1997 (I couldn't find out online)
Absolutely, and I'm 100% sure he will collaborate for it, since he has a warm heart for the scene. We were on BIT Live 2018 together in Bergen/Norway... same venue, same house we stayed at... amazing fella!
Where in the world did you find that Video Game Soundmakers album?? I've now scoured the internet for it for what feels like ages and I literally can't even find a single recording! I'm in love with that "Play Your Game" track you featured and have been dying to find the whole thing.
After listening to this - over and over - I want nothing more than to listen to all the songs from The Video Game Soundmakers. Alas, impossible to find :(
great video. I wonder how the hell is that music made with assembler ? didn't they compose it with a tracker or something like that ? is there any video or documentation related to that ? thanks.
Many great tunes and impressive sounds for the time being. But leaving out Cybernoid 1-2 when doing a compilation of Tels work beats me. The music of those games are easy the top 5 ever c64 tunes. His own modern remix of Cybernoid 2 is a banger.
May I inform you, that I took the inspiration from an unknown Spanish composed from the 15th century, which song I used an an inspiration for the Iron Lord main theme? My dad's choir used to sing this since I was 0 years old, and it always caught me.
@@JeroenTel ahh, perfect middle-age vibes. fits perfect to Iron Lord. i still like your 8-bit composition way more :) but i understand why you got inspired by it. it's a great melody! it sounds a bit like traditional music from the Alps. yodeling vibes, horn, harp sounds, family made Hausmusik.. just a bit something for your inspiration :) ruclips.net/video/aNQ-Ua57qtg/видео.html or this ruclips.net/video/bvNZeh6f8vE/видео.html
It's funny how primitive 80s and early 90s demos were compared to today's. The C64 has essentially advanced another generation via software. Tel is an all timer, both talented and prolific. It's a little overwhelming seeing the skipped compositions fly by and the video still coming in over 40 minutes. A good amount of thought must have gone into choosing the final mix.
Man GST Channel thats sweet mixing of all the tunes! One question, how did you manage to use youtubes VIDEO EDITOR section to make a timed playlist of the music like you did for a single video?! Thats the first time i'ver ever seen that!
are you referring to how youtube shows where each track is on the seek bar? that's built from the video description. it has to be in a format of "[time] [title]", with the first entry in the list being at 0:00 after that youtube automatically builds everything
It's not online anymore, I think... Here's an archive link: web.archive.org/web/20070829103418/www.mickrippon.com/unreleased/mickrip_jeroentel_alternatatefuel.mp3
I grabbed that from Mick Rippon's website years and years ago. it looks like it's still around though: www.bitfellas.org/e107_plugins/radio/radio.php?info&id=26312
At 21:43, did you mean to write Billy Idol instead of Billy Joel? I wouldn't be surprised if it was Idol considering he was doing all sorts of "cyberpunk"-ish stuff at the time.
wow I had to check my notes and make sure I didn't make some dumb mistake, lol It was Billy Joel, unless Jeroen himself was misremembering! Though this is possible... no offence, Jeroen ;)
ahaha, whoops. I manually added 10 seconds to all of the timestamps and I guess it shows here technically it's not "wrong", just formatted weird ;) fixed now, thanks for pointing it out!
FoD is extremely modern compared to all the other composers I've been looking at. While not entirely out of the question, it's not something I think I'll be doing for a long while.
"keygen music" is currently associated with an oldschool style of amiga modules that feature shortlooped waveforms. There's probably plenty of variety in actual keygens, but when I say "keygen music", I'm referring to the amiga-inspired stuff.
Dude please! Your text cards are fading out rather quickly! And I'm ought to pause a video to read!!.... And I'm not the worst in English language out there in the world
@@GSTChannelVEVO thanks for your answer! I hope you'll consider to fix it on later videos. By making it to last a bit longer. I do love music and a chiptune in particular. So the story behind it is important for me. Have a great day and a Christmas and a New Year holidays!!
The cool thing with RUclips is... you can PAUSE it at will! =D Rather than "Overlord"... "Your will be done!"... and not being able to in the game... (joke)
Also done a fundraiser five years ago.. raised EUR 25.358 for a new album. "Tel me More"... but used the money to pay rent, food, debts instead and surprise-surprise.. he never ever produced anything but lame excuses.. from HERO to ZERO!
Wow wow wow... hold your horses, sir... I did work on the project a lot, but it got delayed a lot because of personal -let's call them- issues. I am still finishing the remakes now and will release the album. I think it's unfair to say that I went from HERO to ZERO because I failed this project (so far). It was underfunded, I was very clear in my pitch about how the money was going to be spent and some guys (I won't mention their names in order not to go into their mindset) bashed me to death when I didn't keep my schedule up to the point they even bullied me out of my relation with my fiancee. If I would've known about that beforehand I would not have started the campaign to begin with, honestly. But I did start the campaign and I will finish the project, even though it takes way too much time. If you want to hear the previews and songs that I already worked on, you can go to my soundcloud channel: www.soundcloud.com/maniacs-of-noise

1 year, later, still love this. Whether it was meant to be a mix or not, its a great mix.
One of my favorites GST mix!!! Thanx for this! ❤
Amazing channel, glad I've found it
absolute legend!
Wow this mix in Phenomenal, even has our little 2011Crakout project in there! Such a nice touch!!
I can't wait for Matt Simmonds (4-mat)!
This was a blast to listen to, so many great tracks. And I had to make a pause and listen to Robocop 3, on both chips. I remember it playing on many demoparties, I never really got a chance to hear the NES version. I still think the SID version is better :)
Jereon will agree with you on that ;)
he composed the NES version first but then expanded on it with the additional features of the SID. He's gone on record saying that the SID version is the better version, in his eyes.
Just did!
Amiga Unreal game music is so beautiful
Reminder for myself
7:59 : I stopped reading the info about the songs so I could just listne while I did my homework.
Superb music and mix
Another awesome Mix. Well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a HUGE fan of JT's work. Robocop 3, Warlocked, and Alien3 were the shiznite.
Thank you, sir! I'm so happy you feel that way! (the only intention that it matched emotions, intended). =)
Thanks for a great video and quite the fantabulous mix if I may say so. His work is easily amongst my cherished music collection, from the C64 to PC trackers. Looks like I have some catching up to do. Greetings from #trax of the 90/00s WAVE. I almost feel like an enthusiastic keyboard musician again. Maybe I'll grab that tracker-midi-editor script(Hackey Tracker) for Reaper and have some fun again. But can I find my sample disks?
Hey man, great to see you here. #trax days were the best music fun computer composers could have with all the wicked compos and silly mIRC guys & galls around... I look back at it with great joy! If you go back to tracking, why don't you give Renoise a chance... it's absolutely great... I hope you'll find your sample disks... haha! =D
Greetings from the NL and who knows we'll meet again in the Future... =)
Nice mix, bit I really miss the music of Cybernoid I and II.
I would (with respect to the creator of this video interview-ish kind of thing), give him some grants for not covering that part of it... he (and I) were on a time-limit during the making of this... X-mas time... sick times!!! (We struggled to meet up since he was in the USA and I am in Europe... we still met up 6 hours a day, despite that.... =) Maybe a second roller coaster for the next round? =D
@@JeroenTel A next round..... sounds good to me.
Отлично выполненная компиляция творчества.
You actually got some footage of SLICK/Audio for the SNES!? That's incredible!
As someone who's played a lot of BreakQuest, i knew that The Home Visit sounded familiar...
Fucking Incredible mix
technocop bringing the BOP
Robocop 3 theme sounds like it doesn't belong in a game jesus christ it's beautiful
The Eric Nouhan of the game music.
lol just know that The Home Visit is Jeroen's work. that sounds very good! (actually imma sample The Home Visit and 911 for some samples for me to use in OpenMPT stuffs haha
Im crying and dancing at the same time
"there there"
@@JeroenTel *dies*
@@JeroenTel not yet! 😀😨
Jeroen tel could literally make a song with only doorbell rings and it'd still sound like a boss battle bop
I approve
So do I.
When you're going to do one about Rob Hubbard? This series are awesome!
finally
I hear a little bit of Stranglehold in Hello 1997, what a cool little touch. I think I heard a bit of that one bit of bassline from Stranglehold II as well, although I'm not sure if that came out before or after Hello 1997 (I couldn't find out online)
D'oh, so many cool people in chat I missed, including the man himself :(
At least I get to
@@JeroenTel Satisfactory enough :P
=D =D =D
You should do Chris Huelsbeck
Absolutely, and I'm 100% sure he will collaborate for it, since he has a warm heart for the scene. We were on BIT Live 2018 together in Bergen/Norway... same venue, same house we stayed at... amazing fella!
Where in the world did you find that Video Game Soundmakers album?? I've now scoured the internet for it for what feels like ages and I literally can't even find a single recording! I'm in love with that "Play Your Game" track you featured and have been dying to find the whole thing.
honestly I can't remember 😅
I swear I found a youtube upload once, but I can't seem to find it now...
Hello, any chances we get an Artist Feature on Kenichiro Fukui?
After listening to this - over and over - I want nothing more than to listen to all the songs from The Video Game Soundmakers. Alas, impossible to find :(
great video. I wonder how the hell is that music made with assembler ? didn't they compose it with a tracker or something like that ? is there any video or documentation related to that ? thanks.
I'm not aware of any videos, no. I think each case is pretty unique. Kind of like a million people inventing their own version of MML.
You should do Alexander Brandon or Andrew Sega next when you get the chance to
Where can I find The Video Game Soundmakers? I can't find any discs or downloads online.
sadly, I have no idea. I only managed to get a copy when I interviewed Jeroen himself.
I can send you a copy... Just send me an email at jeroentel at the obvious gmail.com. :-)
Many great tunes and impressive sounds for the time being. But leaving out Cybernoid 1-2 when doing a compilation of Tels work beats me. The music of those games are easy the top 5 ever c64 tunes. His own modern remix of Cybernoid 2 is a banger.
where is the Iron Lord Theme? my favorite from Jeroen Tel!
May I inform you, that I took the inspiration from an unknown Spanish composed from the 15th century, which song I used an an inspiration for the Iron Lord main theme? My dad's choir used to sing this since I was 0 years old, and it always caught me.
And another version:
ruclips.net/video/HTMsmoPvoVQ/видео.html
And one more.... it's a classic among tradition music choirs (who know their history... amazing the music ran around for over 5 centuries!...
@@JeroenTel ahh, perfect middle-age vibes. fits perfect to Iron Lord. i still like your 8-bit composition way more :)
but i understand why you got inspired by it. it's a great melody!
it sounds a bit like traditional music from the Alps. yodeling vibes, horn, harp sounds, family made Hausmusik.. just a bit
something for your inspiration :) ruclips.net/video/aNQ-Ua57qtg/видео.html or this ruclips.net/video/bvNZeh6f8vE/видео.html
It's funny how primitive 80s and early 90s demos were compared to today's. The C64 has essentially advanced another generation via software. Tel is an all timer, both talented and prolific. It's a little overwhelming seeing the skipped compositions fly by and the video still coming in over 40 minutes. A good amount of thought must have gone into choosing the final mix.
By such foolish statement you don't undestand s*** in Demoscene.
Man GST Channel thats sweet mixing of all the tunes! One question, how did you manage to use youtubes VIDEO EDITOR section to make a timed playlist of the music like you did for a single video?! Thats the first time i'ver ever seen that!
are you referring to how youtube shows where each track is on the seek bar? that's built from the video description.
it has to be in a format of "[time] [title]", with the first entry in the list being at 0:00
after that youtube automatically builds everything
@@GSTChannelVEVO Thanks so much for explaining and i really enjoy your channel!
He's active on RUclips. Has he commented on this video yet?
yes indeed! peruse the comment section and see for yourself!
also be sure to read the live chat from the premiere, as he was active in there as well!
29:30 “c’mon” is that you Jimmy from WarioWare?? Holy shit
Love the beat in Placemat Power
Where i can download it? Jeroen Tel
Sadly, I don't think it can be downloaded anywhere. I had to rip it from the game myself.
If you give me your e-mail address in PM, I can send it to you. =)
Supremacy is supreme.
where the heck did he find and get the 1993 album thing from?
I can't find it on youtube or soundcloud
It would appear I cannot find my comment asking about Mick's cover of Alternative Fuel, could you reply and link it to me again? :)
It's not online anymore, I think...

@@GSTChannelVEVO thank you
Where's that guitar version of Alternative Fuel?
I grabbed that from Mick Rippon's website years and years ago.
it looks like it's still around though: www.bitfellas.org/e107_plugins/radio/radio.php?info&id=26312
@@GSTChannelVEVO Thanks.
I wonder if Jeroen Tel is reading this.....
Yup. =)
Cybernoid?? Where art thou?
At 21:43, did you mean to write Billy Idol instead of Billy Joel? I wouldn't be surprised if it was Idol considering he was doing all sorts of "cyberpunk"-ish stuff at the time.
wow I had to check my notes and make sure I didn't make some dumb mistake, lol
It was Billy Joel, unless Jeroen himself was misremembering! Though this is possible... no offence, Jeroen ;)
I've been commenting on this a lot, lol, but I swear there was a part that mentioned JonTron, I can't seem to find it though.
it was this video, yeah! 6:06
@@GSTChannelVEVO Thanks again!
the "2:63" timestamp in the description is wrong
ahaha, whoops. I manually added 10 seconds to all of the timestamps and I guess it shows here
technically it's not "wrong", just formatted weird ;)
fixed now, thanks for pointing it out!
arpeggio
please, do jake kaufman!
Yes, Jake rox.
You forgot Tintin on the Moon!
Could you do one on Fearofdark
FoD is extremely modern compared to all the other composers I've been looking at. While not entirely out of the question, it's not something I think I'll be doing for a long while.
@@GSTChannelVEVO Understandable
But I thought all keygen music was liquid drum'n'bass?
"keygen music" is currently associated with an oldschool style of amiga modules that feature shortlooped waveforms. There's probably plenty of variety in actual keygens, but when I say "keygen music", I'm referring to the amiga-inspired stuff.
@@GSTChannelVEVO yeah I know I was making a joke. It's all there seems to be these days
Dude please! Your text cards are fading out rather quickly! And I'm ought to pause a video to read!!.... And I'm not the worst in English language out there in the world
Sorry about that! I don't really have much of an excuse, either. Hectic editing process. :S
Luckily it doesn't really affect the focus: music.
@@GSTChannelVEVO thanks for your answer! I hope you'll consider to fix it on later videos. By making it to last a bit longer. I do love music and a chiptune in particular. So the story behind it is important for me.
Have a great day and a Christmas and a New Year holidays!!
The cool thing with RUclips is... you can PAUSE it at will! =D
Rather than "Overlord"... "Your will be done!"... and not being able to in the game... (joke)
This gave me an interest in CrakOut but Google is giving me absolutely nothing but this video again, and an Android game with the same name. :(
the android game might be the same game! assuming it was by Pixel Burner.
sadly, the windows version seems to be lost...
@@GSTChannelVEVO Looks like you're right about the Android game but I'm very careful about downloading random APKs from dodgy sources.

Huh, it's named "Tune 3" in that link but "Tune 1" in my video. I was never really clear on how these numbers were assigned...
😊@@GSTChannelVEVO This track sounds much better
Also done a fundraiser five years ago.. raised EUR 25.358 for a new album. "Tel me More"... but used the money to pay rent, food, debts instead and surprise-surprise.. he never ever produced anything but lame excuses.. from HERO to ZERO!
Wow wow wow... hold your horses, sir... I did work on the project a lot, but it got delayed a lot because of personal -let's call them- issues. I am still finishing the remakes now and will release the album.
I think it's unfair to say that I went from HERO to ZERO because I failed this project (so far). It was underfunded, I was very clear in my pitch about how the money was going to be spent and some guys (I won't mention their names in order not to go into their mindset) bashed me to death when I didn't keep my schedule up to the point they even bullied me out of my relation with my fiancee. If I would've known about that beforehand I would not have started the campaign to begin with, honestly. But I did start the campaign and I will finish the project, even though it takes way too much time.
