The graphics are no problem whatsoever but the sound would be
completely beyond me. Listening to the original (non-8 bit) version
shows the song to have a vocal so if that weren't the case I'd
probably do the graphics in 4x4 blocks in Mode 2 and get that whole
footprint down to 10kb or so, then spend everything else on music.
Even then I assume someone would need to come up with a MOD-style
version of the track...

Vaguely related: does anyone know where I can get hold of Sam dos as a
binary blob, outside of a disk image, for the purposes of being able
to assemble things conveniently? I can find disk image file extraction
tools for Windows only, making them quite useless.
