"Classic"
A technical feat on the handheld's chip, the music transposes David Wise's themes with a surprisingly rich atmosphere. From the steamy jungle to the underwater depths of "Aquatic Ambience", each melody keeps its groove and its mystery. This careful adaptation, stunning on so little, still commands admiration.
