This is the best intro music I think I've ever come across in ANY game I've seen/played! It reeks of determination and the will to succeed against any and all hardship. Just look into his eyes!
Dit was het cassettebandje destijds meer dan waard. En ook de 50 (of 55?) gulden voor 't game. Die wind uit de intro klinkt overigens best op een 8580.
On his own website, it says he started working for System 3, a Commodore 64 software developer, at the age of 15. LOL, at that time he wasn't even old enough to legally work in Holland. It says he was 21 in 1995 so he started working for System 3 in 1988 or 1989. Either way a very good year for Commodore 64 gamemusic.
I still remember watching this awesome intro, and the music still amazes me. This is one of a very few c64 tracks, that has got a really nice bass drum beat. Long live the SID 6581 chip, somehow I need to get a HardSID:D
Ah, you would think that I bring this up as a negative point? If he got a contract working for System 3 when he was in his mid teens it just means ultra coolness.
I'm one of the very few I'm sure that didn't really rate the first two Ninja games in terms of their music. Obviously they weren't horrible and actually very accomplished but they didn't work at a level that I enjoyed them with gusto. I rather like the soundtrack to the third game though
@@phreak761 yeah I think if I spent more time with the first two that might change. I never got into them so I've not spent much time enough to know if I'd actually like the music or not I guess
a... a what? I'm sorry, I can recite the complete technical specs of a sega genesis from memory and disable the region lockout on an NES blindfoled but I don't know what you are talking about.
Great mix. I miss those days when these types of music was abundant.
I remeber myself sitting in front of my C64 and watching the Intro the first Time..I was staring at the Monitor..speechless
Loved this as a kid I was big into ninjas this game was ahead of its time
"If the 6502 was the brain of the C64 then the VIC II was it's heart and the SID was it's soul."

Hey, you just did a great comment 11 years ago. Are you still there?
Cheers!
Reyn is a total genius. He created the atmosphere in this game
Definitely the best intro music for videogame...
how can so much awesome fit in the c64? I get goosebumps from this
Had a massive last ninja 3 poster, put it on my window so everyone can see… cus of this tune! 😃
This is just unbelievably good.
Unforgetable tune!!!
Reyn Ouwehand was probably one of my favorite C64 composers in the later years of the 64's life
Thanks!
Not only best Game Music, i think one of the best ever C64 Games, they made things possible what was mostly unpossible on the c64 :-)
100% agree with you!!!
Úžasná melodie.
Hope to do an intro remake for this one :)
rickonami yes please! I just watched your mega man x remake like a week ago... showed a bunch a friends. it was awesome. bravo !!

Hahaha, geweldig!!!!
We worden oud
I have no nostalgie on it, ut just stunning great!
Maniacs of Noise, baby
Turn the filter off in sidplay to make it sound 100% c64 perfect :D
Love studying to this.
Reyn defines my taste in music.
Haha!
Just AWESOME....

What I mean is: He's a legend, law says he's not (legally) allowed to be one (legend), but he just is. So what? :D
AWSOME
Flying tune!

It's 8 years later now...... Did you get one? :-)
Sadly no, but I am thinking of rebuilding My old c64,but its a project sometime into the future..
Cudo
@ReynOuwehand
That's it, I'm getting a copy of this off ebay for my C64.
Awesome game, and a soundtrack which pushed the boundaries of the SID chip.
more ninjas please
Does no one have the reset switch version of this?
Wow!
just epic :)
c64, the best only, awesome

Get your point, but does it really matter? ;)
