I grew up with the Commodore 64 (unlike BOK) and sometimes good old memories pop up. In the past I’ve posted an article on my personal blog regarding C64 music.

After seeing some footage on YouTube of Commodore Amiga games, I wondered if an all time favorite of my C64 days could be queried. The good old game of Aztec Challenge!

It can be queried very well, which led me to the band called PRESS PLAY ON TAPE, a Danish band playing (almost) nothing but C64 tunes.

Now first let’s look at the good old Aztec Challenge game:


Now look at the band:


I simply love it! Too bad I hadn’t heard of them when I was paying a visit to their hometown of Copenhagen earlier this year! Guess I’ll just have to buy the albums, and wait for them to arrange a concert close to my hometown….

Be sure to check out the (proper quality) video of Monkey Island (and yes, all Scandinavian guitarists can play metal! ;-)

Too bad you don’t run Windoze…
You could have made an excellent start of the weekend with this piece of software:
