Funky Monkey is back with the final part of The History of Turrican.

Beware, for ’tis a dark day… We conclude this whistle-stop tour of Turrican History with a look at the perils of Movie licences, and a sloppily converted game called Universal Soldier.

Oh! And if I get 300 views per video on all my History of Turrican Videos by January, I’ll start a second series, and go in-depth on some of the mentioned games! Tell your friends!

The wonderfully named Robinson Mason of the great c64walkabout podcast held a Holiday Remixing Contest, with a prize going to the winner.

I entered this tune;

Despite it not been good, and only taking 15 minutes to create, this tune won. Mainly because it was the only tune entered into the competition, but that’s just a minor detail. My prize was a PC version of the Defender of the Crown Remake.

You can read more about this at c64 walkabout news. For more of my crappy remixes check out C64Glen’s Crappy c64 Remixes .

Here’s a great Video from FunkyMonkey about Turrican, one of the greatest video games of all time .

This week I’ve got a C64 remix for you. It’s Rob Hubbard’s “Nemesis The Warlock” remixed by Hazel, who also made the video.

Back to the Good old C64 for this weeks Music Monday and back to Rob Hubbard with this Intro tune for the EA game Skate or Die.
