I'm surprised that Nintendo didn't get sued.

I have a dislike for the orchestral scores in videogames. Sure some games needs them for sure, but it had become more artsy fartsy than having a kick ass short melody to set the mood and pace. The MegaMan soundtracks are the epitome of both iconic and actually good music from videogames made with what little technology they had available. The CD format changed that and it started featuring real music in games that didn't change the formula ofnwhatvgaming music was. Then along came I don't know what and it feels like the need of all nerds. The need, needs would pick on for being nerdy and somehow changed the landscape of gaming music and for some reason, it stuck. Now every cinematic feels like it has an orchestral ambient score that isn't catchy or fun to listen to at all, but just there because it's supposed to be.

In middle school band, we were taught Kernkraft 400, and the sheet music said Zombie Nation.

Anybody know what little synthesizer Whang is using here?

Can always be a bit tricky with old game soundtracks since they often borrowed so much from other existing musical pieces. Sometimes popular songs. Sometimes old classics and folk tunes. It was a bit of the wild west back then.

Is that Linus Åkesson (AKA lftkryo) at 0:23 ? I love his stuff! A Oldschool master!

Electronic music is very iterative. It's all stolen, and it's fine.

Even though i sometimes feel like it would be fun to try making music, I'd be afraid to accidentally copy something I'd never heard, given there must be millions of songs.

I loved Lazy Jones! Spent hours on that game! Somehow I got a cracked(hacked) version from Germany for my C64 with Bruce Lee and Elidon on same floppy
