It's got everything a professional reel needs:

- Goofy out of context headshot
- Assortment of Fantasy/Orchestral tunes
- sorry isn't that it?

Well, this is a fun sentence to type:

The Spirit Engine DX is real.

I’m back, the game is coming back, and I’ve been rewriting the soundtrack for the remaster.
