This remix has been on Dub Rogue's to do list for almost 30 years. He played Wonder Boy as a kid and once made it to the secret 10th level. This song features rebuilds of the original melodies and basslines and mixes them together into a blend of dub, reggae and chiptune. Whimsical, as always.
L. Huger, music critic from Helsinki: "The latest Whimsical brainworm by the timewarping Dub Rogue is the trippiest so far. Listening to Dub Rogue's mashed up sounds of Horseman and Sega Master System feels like being inside a mythical story happening deep underground, in a crystal cave made out of pixelated diamonds."
