Are you Immortal? Here's Rob Hubbard's own orchestral version of his "The Immortal" soundtrack performed by the Czech Studio Orchestra in Prague in 2022 as part of the 8-Bit Symphony Pro project. Video is "Wizards and Warlocks" by Thomas Finnerup. EA when it was good! #retrogaming #nes #msdos

C64Audio is now on Bandcamp... why not follow along?
Here's something while you're Waiting for SID... in fact, it's a whole album - disc 4 from Project Sidologie! Marcel did it as a continuous track like Jarre so it's great to be able to hear it like that. 9 great C64 tracks done like Jarre.

@c64audio.bsky.social

25 years ago on May 16th 2001 I ran a live event "Back in Time Live" in Birmingham. It was one of the first big reunions of 8-bit types, and was unusual enough for BBC Midlands to send a reporter, and they interviewed Ben Daglish, David Whittaker and Richard Joseph.

Rob Hubbard arranged this string version of the Goldrunner title theme specifically in memory of the much-missed legendary game programmer Steve Bak. Here, Thomas Finnerup takes you through his softography while the music soothes and regrets. What do you remember?

@C64Audio 's amazing Rob Hubbard book arrived today and it looks superb! Honoured to have played a (very) small part in some of the research - mostly regarding driver origins + some of the unreleased tunes, which was a lot of fun! Not many copies left now: fusionretrobooks.com/products/mas...
