I kind of doubt they (at least most) were *really* written with the game in mind, but that's just my speculation, and I think I got the chronology down in the above. (In my mind they should be eligible even if they were re-recorded for the "hours.." album (which came out first) and in one case released as a b-side).

Got this from the game's wikipedia:

David Bowie, who had some input on the storyline and game's design, makes two cameo appearances within the game, although not as himself; first as Boz, a game character who's a revolutionary wanted by authorities, and secondly as the nameless lead-singer of the fictional musical group, "The Dreamers", who perform illegal concerts in Omikron. In addition, select tracks from his (then) upcoming 'hours...' album were written specifically for the game then rewritten for the actual album release. For instance, the intro song New Angels of Promise changed the chorus lyric Omikron to Suspicious Minds.
The game's soundtrack is a main feature as well, featuring songs by Bowie and Reeves Gabrels (most of which appeared on 'hours...' or as B-sides on the associated single for the song "Thursday's Child") in addition to the primary composition work by Xavier Despas. Most of Bowie's songs are then available (in-game only) for later listening either if the player opts to "buy" the recordings or simply walk into an apartment that already has some of the music laid out in plain view or in hidden compartments. Bowie's wife Iman also makes a cameo as one of the numerous Omikronian citizens the player can "reincarnate" into.[3]

So it sounds like a go to me, it does specifically say "written for the game".

You might have some competition if I choose to cover this too. >:]

Would the music from the 3D Pinball Space Cadet game be remixable?

(this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7qM9PAplp0 )

I don't think it is a commercial release, but it is still a game, so I'm not sure.

[DarkeSword]

Yes, it is.

If I sent a submission that hasn't been passed to the panel (since I submitted it on early August), can I reply to my original mail with a "remastered" version that uses better samples?

I can't directly update the link since I sent a Soundcloud link and they charge you if you want to update a file...

[DragonAvenger]

Send in an email with the new link and we'll get it up there

When your song is posted on the front page, or in anticipation of being posted very soon, you'll have an artist page.

I was looking at the 'To Be Judged' list and I see four songs from August that are up there, but no others(as I've subbed a song early August, the 2nd I believe). I was just curious as to what that was about...
