People don't understand why a man in his fourtys starts crying when he hears 8-bit music from games like Wings Of Fury, Giana Sisters or Fortress Of Fear. I admire people taking so much time and dedication into creating something hauntingly beautiful from those "old" pieces. Thank you!

Yep. Don't know what it is but these Giana songs (no matter what version) wet my eyes even sober and and daytime, not to mention after a few 'alcooholic beverages'. Maybe they just remind from those safe and easy times.

Still wets my eyes everytime I hear it. Never gets old.

I was 8 when I first heard this tune. I`m in my 40`s now and I cry when I listen to this.

We played that song at the beginning of the ceremony of out wedding. It felt awesome, walking in to the music, cleansing our minds for the moments to come

I hope Chris Hülsbeck sees this someday, if he hasn't already. I suspect his heart would be glad... He is a legend for those in the know and while being underappreciated as a mainstream composer, which says more about us as a society than it does about him...

This piece is from the "Piano Collection" that Chris Hülsbeck himself released a few years ago. The scorebook was part of the Kickstarter back then.

This is a master piece and an anthem for all those who 've been there at time.

It shows you how great game music was composed back then.

As an 80s kid, this almost brings tears to my eyes. Beautiful.

Its about time we start acknowledging and legitimising the great artistic work game composers did during the 80s and 90s.

To be honest - this arrangement is a lot more than just playing the original composition. I like chiptunes, especially the reduced 3 channel stuff from the SID, but once they get played on real instruments, it becomes quickly clear they were meant to be delivered in one shape only. This version clearly uses the advantages of an analogue instrument.

@helenmarfleet6330

While I agree with Herr Schmidt that this particular arrangement is using the advantages of equipment that Chris Hulsbeck didn't have when he composed it, it is none the less a beautiful arrangement of the piece. C64 and Amiga music should be legitimized as a genre and not just seen as geek fodder. Many great composers of the era made beautiful pieces of music that can be enjoyed by everyone. Hulsbeck is one of the greats and should be celebrated as such. I used to load up this game and listen to the whole track before I'd actually play, because I loved it so much. I mean, it's not that modern game music composers don't do a good job, they do (I quite enjoy the ambient music on Minecraft, for example), but the old composers, they had much simpler tools to work with and they had to make a tune work well with those limited tools, and you got to respect them for that.

Kudos for the artist - and long live the legacy of Commodore 64 and Amiga - the platforms that brought music making experience to homes. I'm proud and thankful to have participated in it.

Won-der-ful. My youth in a majestic remembrance. Thank you so much.

Damn... this just makes me cry... I miss those days !

I remember this when I first heard it, must have been 15. Really good music, one of the best on the C64.

My Deepest Respect, I grew up in the Commodore C64 and Amiga Era this music is a true master peace

It is amazing how a piano can be everything from a rhythm instrument to a soprano "voice". The piano is the most amazing instrument. And to hear that tune of my video game youth with the chords played by a piano player - just awesome.

This was awesome man I was taking back to my childhood! Great rendition of this games songs!

A massive underestimated song. Thank you!

Chris Hülsbeck, the legend of video game composers.

I played this loud and my neighbour came running over curious like a kitten in a paperbag.

A great performance. I sense some similarities between Hans Zimmer's Interstellar/docking scene and this one. :) Chris Hülsbeck should be proud of himself. If a genius like Zimmer is inspired by his music... :) My childhood favourite. Sometimes I didn't even play, I just listened to the music for hours :)

Many thanks for a totally amazing interpretation and performance! It's goosebuds all over and a warm feeling!

The Kikstart II theme still needs its piano cover.

This is really cool and proves why the giana sisters intro made and still makes me so emotional. Brilliant. But now i feel the need to go youtubing for the raw original amiga soundtrack ;)

Glad you did, but this rendition resembles the C64 version much more. The amiga track is good, but it has a more upbeat feel. The C64 version was quite melancholic really wasn't it?

Syvä kiitos suoraan sydämestä. Peli on tietysti minulle tuttu lapsuudesta, joka epäilemättä vaikuttaa omaan kokemukseeni tämän kappaleen osalta, mutta sitä se ei muuta, että koen tämän syvimpänä ja kauneimpana sovituksena JA tulkintana, jonka olen siitä koskaan kuullut. En osaa sanoa, mitä itse koet soittaessasi kappaletta, mutta lopputulos on syystä tai toisesta aivan taivaallinen. Kaihoisa, mutta eteenpäin katsova, surullinen, mutta niin toiveikas. Mutta erityisesti: niin järjettömän koskettava, kuin itse Jumala kuljettaisi sormiasi pitkin koskettimistoa. Enkä edes ole uskonnollinen ihminen. Se satuttaa, tekemättä kipeää. Kiitos, että olet antanut tämän osan itseäsi koko maailmalle kuultavaksi ja nähtäväksi :) Kuulostaa varmaankin aikamoisilta ylisanoilta, mutta omasta puolestani en liioittele - ja olen ihan varma, että moni muu kokee samaa.

A piece of art. I love the game and his music. Go 64!

I saw others performing this, but never found a better interpretation / playing than this one... Bravo!

Nice freestyle on GGS! Great piano play!

This is fantastic! So many childhood memories of playing that game and always loved the melody. You just made it even better. Thank you!

Simply fantastic!

Amazing. Is beautiful...

i love this song we played whole day with my cousing on the good old c64 :) and touch my heart deep again hearing this song ... Thank you ...

Great performance! Thanks for your engagement !!

This is haunting with how good it is. I only wish that instead of like, there was a way to

JA, meine Kindheit in Tasten gegeben . Ich habe diesen Sound ab und zu einfach laufen lassen wenn ich das Spiel gestartet hatte.

Fantastic! Many thanks for sharing this!

It is like Giana Sisters knew that the time will pass and everything can return only as a memory...

Wow. Beautiful and filled with real emotion. I like the human emotion you play with. Its simple and straight to the point.

Fantastic!!!!!

Lol this is so classy yet still nerdy at the same time. Great play! Sometimes it sounds like a classical piece, then again like a movie soundtrack and then a part that reminds a 80s ballad.

thank you... a lot.

That was lovely, thank you! It sounds like it could be a piece of classical music, not just game music, and I feel I heard it before.

If you are in your forties, this brings back earliest childhood memories

A really nice version. Both the performance and arrangement are awesome. I would love some more old C64 tunes in the same way like this. Other great Chris Huelbeck tunes like Shades and Turbo Outrun should be doable on piano.
