Cool C64 goodness

The one with the Skulls that open as the text passes through you mean?
Yeah! That rocks, the music is so cool too. Reminds me a little of the Interceptor Cracktro on the amiga by Unit A, I have to say that the C64 Black Reign one is even better than Unit A interceptor!

But here is a question, on flashtro.com those flashtros take longer to load because of the music having to be sampled, are these C64 flashtros using a different method of playing the songs?

Shockwave: There's a MOD player in coded in Action Script. The musics can be small MODs. I've even seen the begining of some softSynth in Action Script 3. So there might very well be a .SID player in Flash.

I thought that there might be because they seemed to load so quickly, cheers.

Would be an EPIC bit of Action Script if it really were emulating a SID!  It (Black Reign) sounds like a really low quality mp3 to me.
