| I just came here to comment and see a former self has done that. Not sure how this great work exited my brain but it is lovely "hearing it again for the first time". |

"Technically it was ridiculously ambitious for it's time"
not so sure about that. all that texts about 27 zillion polygons and lightsources are bullshit. most fx is just the usual env map. |

Dope by Complex has a massive place deep in my heart for various reasons. Technically it was ridiculously ambitious for it's time (it is struggling on a 486/66mhz) and that it's made by just 2 guys (hello Bozze) but somehow they manage to pull it off.
Jugi's soundtrack is spot on to the dark code/pr0n aesthetics of the demo. Although the demo is slow, the upbeat music gives it a nice flow.
I remember almost crying by awe the first time I watched and heard the demo. It was also an emotionally turbulent time in my life, and the soundtrack dug its way deep down my young data-soul :)
Fast forward 16 years to 2011 and the making of 1991/Booze Design. I had already decided on doing a sid remake of an old PC demo and I had a few candidates that I knew could work in a SID version, and Onward Ride was one of them.
I do indeed have a worktune called "Onward" in my GT directory but I decided early on that I wouldn't be able to do it justice and instead settled on doing a remake of "Desert Dawn" by Lizard King from Crystal Dreams II /Triton (which I'm pretty pleased with tbh) :)
TL;DR: Happy that someone finally made it justice! Good job FLEX!
The ride goes ever onward.... |

| The original composition is not my cup of tea at all. Nice rendition tho that apparently made a lot of people happy. Kudos! :) |

| I've finally got acquainted with original tune already and have to say it's not very captivating. I'll never understand some things in the universe, apparently :D Still, props for very remaking effort, job done :) |

Thanks for nice comments.
@wysiwtf: it should be pretty accurate (some artistic freedom included) except for the beginning that is extended in the original. Haven't checked out the BPM what it tells us.. |
