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.
