    Geek alert.

    Do you have fond memories of the Last Ninja 2 game music amongst other classics by musician Matt Gray? Yes?

    Then you might want to back this nifty kickstarter project.

                      Yes, I had a C64 with floppy drive. Friends was jealous because they had only the C-casette tape drives. Ouboy, Gianna Sisters and Last Ninja's... few hours spend with those...

                            Good man. The Reformation kick starter is very close to meeting the final stretch goal with less than a hour of funding to go. I think (and hope) we'll reach it in the closing minutes.
