I do not remember much detail of making this. Only thing I can confirm is that it drives pretty well and is a solid production for a tracker. Not bad at all. And it did lead to a whole lot of stuff down the line. I made A Soldier’ Story, which is this song with vocals and a Vietnam theme. So I guess this is an instrumental of that now, basically. And I made Resident Evil, which is this merged with Alice Deejay – The Lonely One.

Trackers like FastTracker II and Impulse Tracker don’t use a piano roll—instead, you type notes and effects as text (like C-5, 01F). Making music felt closer to programming than composing. Many iconic 90s game soundtracks are tracker-based. People often grabbed samples from other songs, games, or sample packs. It was part of the culture, especially before licensing became a big concern.
