I bet a lot of PC gamers remember this classic game, and to be honest, I'm surprised that this cult favorite (with a killer soundtrack) hasn't been mixed yet!
The track for the Maeva levels has my favorite music, but I also really love the NewSan, Suburb and the NewFac tracks if you're a mixer looking for something different.

I love the techno style, so if any mixer is up to the challenge, I'd love to hear it like that with a modern non-midi edge. It could always use an industrial edge too to give it some of the punch that I feel the midi has. :)

In the meantime, I love these songs so much, I've burned the soundtrack on a CD and I listen to the MID files as they are... because even though they're midi they still kick butt!

Just a friendly bump for my friend MegaRace that nobody else seems to be nostalgic for. :tomatoface:
I suppose others aren't as impressed with the music as I still am. Is it the nostalgia blinding me, or is the music really awesome?
:puppyeyes:

I see a lot of popular titles on the 1st page of this forum, but I'm looking for something a little more obscure. Something a little more meaningful for the old school PC gamer! Please, think of the... children... from... 10 years ago!

I posted a thing about Megarace too! Mine was for NewSan though. I personally find the BGM for Maeva and most of the other BGM's to be a tad bit too repetitive. To each their own I guess. Either way though, you should probably not post so many of your own messages in a row. Sooner or later someone is going to overreact about it (namely an admin), and you'll find yourself cybershot through the head.

I didn't think I'd get bump-smacked because each time it was at least 2 weeks or so apart, I just didn't want the dream to die! Thanks for the heads-up though.

I didn't see your request. NewSan is a great tune and would love to hear it mixed.

You may be glad to know that a mixer has begun work based your tune:

Now if only I could get somebody to do Maeva. :-B

Although I haven't played it before, I was thinking about doing a mix of MegaRace sometime. I liked its songs. =D

"GREETINGS ENFORCER!" "Hi, I'm Lance Boyle, and people often wonder if I'm real!"

Loved this game as a kid.

Agreed, these tracks hold up amazingly well. If you guys are interested in reliving elementary school, you can pick up all 3 games on GOG.com. I find it incredible that they actually managed to make not just one but TWO sequels.

I'm reviving this request.
More Megarace, plz.

Holy crap. I remember playing this game non-stop for a period of one month when I was 9. Unfortunately, some grease from one of those liquid CD holders destroyed my copy of the game.

When I have the right equipment, I'll try to make a mix of this tune or other MegaRace tracks (probably NewSan).

Totally Agreed. Somebody please take up this challenge. :D A megarace album would be even better, but I will settle for one totally awesome remix. :D

Nonamer: what does 'right equipment' entail? Is this something that could happen in the next few months, or do you have to get all the parts of 'the right equipment' which could be a long time. :D

I've been wanting to kill my writers block and finetune my new skills so I'm gonna be working on a dynamite headdy and a megarace remix now =D.

Not mixed together of course lol xD.

Hehe, thanks. Haven't started on it yet. Upgraded my comp to windows 7 so I'm making sure all my software and stuff is compatible with this os.
