Length 1:03
Format SID
Loops No

The original MUS track was rearranged on the SID chip. The track was simplified and now features just the same repeating drum pattern mixed with bass (from the second part of the DOS arrangement) without melody, so listening to this version might be more annoying when compared to the DOS original.

In the Japanese versions of DragonStrike, it is one of the five cutscene themes, not just the one. In both PC-9801 and X68000 versions, it has a Commodore 64/Amiga "basis" of bass and drums loop with a simple, repeating arpeggio "layered" on it. It was arranged by either Yoshio Kobayashi and/or Yasuhiro Kawasaki.
