A three-part module that looks like a soundtrack for some game, but I am not sure about that. Contains three interesting songs with good technical base: skilled use of offset, vibrato and portamento effect commands; good work with the standard stereo separation of the MOD format. Two minuses: 1) bad sample loop points in samples 1 (especially) and 3 (less) that produce clicking; 2) overall "roughness" of the sound, caused by used samples. In total, we have three good songs in one module with the samples as the main problem. I, however, keep in mind that this module can be very old (around 1990), and that at the time it was written, getting good quality samples could be a serious problem.
