That person needs something else to do if he made something like that, but I really have no knowledge of that type of computer, so I guess who am I to say that. But it's catchy, even so low tech...

To be honest, I'm left thinking that the SID could do a much better version of the tune, it's capable of so much more.

I've had Still Alive as a ringtone on my phone shortly after I played the game. I've not used it much though. My default ring is Steamage's metal take on Super Metroid's Crateria theme.

@Cor-Wii: Me and my brothers all thought the same thing after beating the game. We put it on all our phones by clipping an mp3 of the song from the original game and transferring it with Audacity. The original setup we had though was kind of quiet... i might need to redo it with the tones like this!
