About this episode

Kung Fu Master (1984) was an arcade game developed by Irem Corporation in Japan, later ported to the Commodore 64. We have modified this game and mixed it with our C64-music that's re-arranged and modified live. With the Retro Replay cartridge for C64 we gain full access to the RAM of the C64 to manipulate the game's graphics and functionality. The blue screen that appears at some points is the interface of the cartridge and the lists of letters and numbers is the data in the RAM. By simply changing this data, you modify the game. This technique was also used for the music. The music was composed on C64 with JCH Editor 3.04 (1991), produced by Jens Christian Huus. We re-arranged two songs live in JCH Editor and also manipulated the RAM to gain interesting sounds normally outside the range of the music software. One song is, in its original form, also used in the C64-production Deep Throat by Durex.
