1Overall Description
This tune brought me back in time, to an era of 8-bit arcades and the Commodore 64. I could easily see this piece of music being part of a car game or something similar from that period. At a technical level this track excels and should be a joy to listen to for anyone who enjoyed gaming in the 80s. The melody itself isn't all that exciting, but for the sheer enjoyment this piece gave me it deserves a 4.
 
2Creativity Description
It's a chip tune. While creating a chip tune these days is creativity enough in itself, there's nothing here we haven't heard before (and if there were, I might not have rated this track so highly, truth to be told). I get a kick out of the slides though.
 
3Artistic License Description
While the technical parts of the track are excellent, the melody itself isn't particularly noteworthy, though it is energetic and fun. It's also only 2 minutes long.
 
4Arrangement Description
It's been a while since I made a habit out of listening to chip tunes, but this track sounds like it's straight out of my childhood. There's nothing here that sounds modern, and that's exactly the way it should be. The artist shows a masterful degree of knowledge about chip tunes.
 
5Does it work as a piece of music Description
Compared to other tracks of the genre, this one may be considered weak simply due to its melody. The energy and enthusiasm provided helps, but ultimately this isn't something you're going to listen to over and over again. It's all about the rush of nostalgia once in a while.
