The Video Game Music Challenge [Official Game Thread]

You learn something new every day; I had no idea that the Famicom had a sample channel.

Sound generation in gaming systems is a fascinating subject in itself... you've inspired me to do some research into it!

Responses to Colorful Arty's picks

6.1: I thought you might have something from Humongous Entertainment. This one is actually not too unusual, in my opinion! All instruments actually sound like real instruments. Although not counting the bass, I suppose they're not very common instruments (I'm also a bit unsure about the lead sound, but it doesn't sound that unusual to me).

6.2: That's pretty unique, and nice, too!

6.3: Glad someone picked Mother 3. I would like to read or hear about how this soundtrack was made. It can't have been mostly streamed audio, as the soundtrack is very long, and that would not have fit on the soundtrack, I'm pretty sure. I do wonder why you picked this track; it's not one of the nicer ones, to me. (I love Monkey's Delivery Service) I also love the drum solo, which I just managed to find the name of by luck: it's called Zombeat.

Responses to Dulstar's picks

6.1: Hey, another one from Earthbound! I would agree that these are pretty strange sounds! I like the track.

6.2: That's cool!

I started quite late and I wouldn't like to go to bed too late, so I'll do Proxima's picks later.

Is anyone else still responding to others' picks, or even listening to them?? Besides Colorful Arty, that is. (I'm glad he is!)

I do listen to the other's answers but I don't respond to them because I don't necessarily have something to say about their choices. But know that I listen to everybody's pick and that it's really cool to see how everyone here have their own taste in music and video games. IchoTolot, for example, seems to like a certain real-time strategy game series.   It's just super fun to share our opinions on game music and this in complete harmony. I'm also really glad Turrican picked Apidya (or Agony's German cousin as I like to call it) for one of his answer, I like to see this game being recognised.

I am listening, it's just that besides all the other things I was/am working on there was little time+energy to formulate comments on every pick here on top of that. Just be assured that I am indeed listening.

Oh, I am glad to hear that, guys!
I am now also quite busy with university, so I honestly don't mind that the game isn't moving along for now. I do hope it will continue later. Or maybe next summer?...

[Colorful Arty]

My apologies, Proxima. I must've missed your Round 3 choices since they were given after Round 3 ended. I've updated my Round 3 feedback post to include your choices too.

Am I the only one who miss this thread? It hasn't been updated in more than a year, and I kinda wish it could be continued. Granted, this probably is not the best time of the year to do so, and the music tribe in the Discord somewhat fits this role but, it doesn't feel the same. If anyone wants to revive this game, maybe during a better suited holiday period, I'll be super glad!

I've been updating some of my links by the way, either because I found better recordings or because I needed to replace dead links, mostly the YouTube ones, you can easily guess why.

I don't, to be honest! I have a lot of activity nowadays (although a bit less while in lockdown), and I'm not sure if I'd be able to spare the time to listen to everyone's picks, if it was anywhere near as active as it used to be. In fact, I already got too busy for it last year when university got on its way, and I never got to listen to Proxima's picks.
I do think of this game now and then, when one of the pieces of music that I got from this game plays on my phone!
