Artist's description:
Written in celebration of my brother's birthday. We grew up on the Nintendo and I have very fond memories of that era. So to all of you 8-bit kids, enjoy.

Written in Impulse Tracker 2.14 on August 13th 2007, see source file.

Also please be warned, due to the nature of this song using a lot of square waves and such, the embedded traxinspace audio makes it sound a lot worse quality than it is if you download the mp3 via the link or better yet the module.

Simply a marvelous piece of art in chiptune genre. This tune almost brings "mega man" back to life.
