RE: Unschooling Blog, Vol. 20: Learning Through Video Games (the original Mega Man series)
This is awesome to hear. That is one aspect of the game I totally forgot to cover, but which is huge! The music is great. I even remarked to my wife at one point that it is a shame that most probably don't realize how great the soundtracks are, and how much work went into composing them, because of the 8-bit instrumentation palette.
There is a fellow on YouTube who has transcribed all the songs from V to guitar and recorded a metal version of the whole game.
My son loves the tunes as well and sings them all the time.
Looking forward to reading your blog! Followed!
I have heard lots of metal versions of megaman, I think the soundtrack was written with metal in mind.
You don't listen to any chiptune? Actually I think a lot of video game music was inspired by YMO's first two albums.
Not sure what chiptune is, but I do like the 8-bit video game music. I'll check it out. And YMO as well.
Oh man, you are in Japan, no? Sexy Synthesizer was my intro to chiptune, a not very well known Tokyo DJ trio. YMCK is pretty big but all their songs sound the same. I'm gonna do a feature on another guy soon.
Awesome. Lemme know when you do it, if you can. I am indeed in Japan, but not familiar with that scene at all. Sounds awesome.👾👾👾
Here is a cheesy 8-bit cover of a non-8-bit video game song. They do covers and original stuff.
Damn copyright laws, had to delete that.
Haha, cheesy indeed, but I like it!
