In 2004 on a plane to Beijing I could not sleep so I checked out the onboard radio and got stuck in a channel playing traditional chinese music.. and just when I was close to falling asleep the theme from Exploding Fist struck me in the head and i almost wanted to jump up from my seat in excitement and emulate moves from the game! (including the scorchy samples) Up to then I had no idea it was a cover from a traditional chinese theme. 10th Dan to Hein for knowing and digging up the title.

Some years ago when i found this tune, i also found it's written by: Liu Tienshan and Mao Yuan.
It's from 1950!

Apart from that the music from WOTEF is ace, cover or no.. I bought the game when it was out, a looooooong time ago. I could listen to that music for hours. I think I'd better take a listen again. Weeeee!

Fist II has a very nice soundtrack as well, I personally like that one better.

True.. That one is ace also, but doesn't carry the same value of affection for me.

That tune is marvellous.

@Laxity: that's what I always loved on SID tunes, they would repeat and repeat forever, listened to Fist 1+2 for hours as well. 8)
