Skate or Die! (Commodore 64) - Title Theme (Famicom Disk System Cover) (Version 2) (4-14-2026)

I've been wanting to go back and redo some of my older covers for a while. And while looking back through them, I felt inclined to redo my Famicom Disk System cover of the amazing title theme to the Commodore 64 skateboarding classic Skate or Die! done by the legendary Rob Hubbard for Electronic Arts back in 1987. As I mentioned before, that theme was groundbreaking for its use of sampled guitar and keyboard power chords through a bug in the MOS 6581 version of the computer's SID sound chip. While my initial effort from 4 years ago wasn't bad, I've improved much more as a chiptune musician since.
