OverClocked ReMix...

Final Fantasy 6 'Oldschool Opening'

Ok, lets start off with the instrumentation: the bassline bugs me and the synth guitars are... well... way too synthetic. I can't say that I'm liking this mix at all. On the up side, those 'chip tune' style echoed bleeps are a really nice idea. The sound on them (especially compared to eveything else) is amazing. The arrangment is nice as well, but from what I hear it doesn't stray much from the original anyways. Oh, and one more thing: this tune reminds me way to much of Zelda. Sorry, Nicholai, but this just won't be on my list of keepers.

SAWEET MERCIFUL BELGIUM!
Where were you keeping this?
This, this rules!
Such a brilliant idea, I'd like to hear more remixes done with SID.
The ending is a little abrupt but still........
I dont care! ITS A SID MIX
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Well, either yer a fan of the SID or ya ain't.

Since I grew up on the C64, there's a spot in my heart for any SID remix on something that frankly has been done to death round here. You gotta admit, the whole point of the thing was "oldschool", even older than the original, and it works. It's not stupendous aural bliss overload or anything, but it's short, it's sweet, and ya know what, it's not bad, it does exactly what it sets out to do, a retro take on a tune that's been played around here several times.

6.5/10.

Loved it!
ITs sooo cool! Its one of my keepers, o yea :D

It's pretty cool. Reminds me a bit of Metal Gear the last seconds of the remix. You know, there's a Swedish synth called SidStation, which is based on the SID chip. Pretty cool, I'd like one. :D Don't know if there're any left, though. They had a limited number of SID chips, so they couldn't mass-produce the thing. :(

Pretty nice... all I have to do is imagine that FF6 was remade for the original NES and that I'm playing it :)

I recently registered in these forums, and thought i'd drop a line or two on your comments.

First of all, I loved the critics, both good and bad. It's always fun when I get a opinion of some work of mine :D

Ginnsu: I used no "guitars", and the tune was ment to sound synthetic. That was kinda the whole idea. Thanks for the criticism though! You go for more acoustic music eh?

The rest: Thank you very much for your positive response. It might help me doing more oldschool covers! :D
If I were to do more chipcovers, what would you like to hear a cover of?

Love / Nich

Welcome to the board, Nicholai :)

I really like chiptune remakes of music(not already chiptuned of course), but this was extra special. It wasn't all 8-bit flat-synth waves, but it had some synth bell sounds too, and the rhythm... OOOOhhhh, I'm in love ;)

If I were to choose one, I would want a pop song to be remixed into a chiptune(like virt's thong song remake) :P Well, since it is videogames, I would want something from Final Fantasy 10. Some users on this board and others say that music from newer games can't be re-arranged to anything new, because they're already as good as they could get. So I say "de"mix them as chiptunes, lol!

Also, I make original music on MIDI.... sorry, I've plugged this too much!
*If you want to chat with me more about this, send me a private message... I don't get that many :(

Pretty interesting. All I think of is Arkanoid though, which is possibly a good thing. I suppose add it to the 80+ FF series mixes on the site... which one to choose from?

Yet another great Terra's Theme, and with that crazy GameBoy-esque sound. I find myself wishing it were longer.

Ooh, more in this style? Sounds good to me. I don't think anyone's done Tal Tal Heights from The Legend of Zelda IV: Link's Awakening - probably since it's so obscure - but hey, I'd like to hear it, certainly in this chiptune style. Good work here.
