This is one of my all-time favorite video game tunes.  People who
never had a C64 probably never heard it, but isn't it cool?  Also,
if the intro puts you off as too hard, don't be discouraged, the rest
of the song's pretty easy, and it rocks :-)

For the stacatto part, if you play with a pick, you can palm mute.

I came up with a few ways to play the opening, but the easiest one
uses a capo on fret 3,so that's the one I put in.  You could do it
without a capo but it's across 5 frets.  Here's a way across four: 

        G |------7-----------------|
        D |------------------------|
        A |---5-----5--8-----------|
        E |8--------------8--7--5--|

And another way I came up with in case you think it's easier:

        G |------7-----------------|
        D |------------------------|
        A |------------8--------0--|
        E |8--10----10----8--7-----|


Four-string bass, standard tuning.  Capo on 3 for the intro, the
rest can be played with or without.

        - Rest for four measures -

    The next part is in 7/8 time, but I divided it into 
    sections of 4/8 and 3/8.

        Repeat 7x:
