*rubs hands together expectantly* edit: So - I can use the Yehat source, as long as I feature the DKC2 fanfare as well? This is new! ..and quite tempting. --Eino

I'm extremely glad to hear that! I might make something out of the DKC2 fanfare as well. Simple sources are fun to make, and I already got an idea. Not sure if I have the time though. --Eino

Thanks! That'd be cool! Ahh duhh, how did I not pick out the UFO theme from your track. I hear it in there now. Thanks for all the feedback in the votes! I'll keep working on this mix too, though I have something of a backlog to work on (but then my mixes always take years to finish). --Eino

Both DrumJ8 and sggod89 came through and incorporated Geoscape 2 into their PRC251 entries, sggod89 doing it so more prominently. Worth checking out! Links in the above post. It so happens I won the round with my Ristar mix (I wasn't allowed to mix my own source pick, but it was a double source round), so here's another classic DOS source: from Star Control 2. PRC252 has started! (also featured: a fanfare theme from Donkey Kong Country 2)--Eino

Alternative rock is definitely a 90s genre and one that'd be cool to hear on this album. Doooiiiiitttt --Eino

From a quick listen, it sounds like you've fixed my earlier arrangement critics regarding the intro, and the sound also sounds more balanced. I'll give it a closer listen later on. Good work! You should probably only post one thread per track though. If you do an update, post in the old thread. You can also edit to update the first post with the new link. --Eino

Well now I'm looking forward to that! --Eino

I thought the Waterworld and Ruins themes were pretty cool. --Eino

Submitted! Some competition please? --Eino

I'll probably get a Ristar arrangement done. I hope more arrangements pop up! --Eino

I couldn't ever get very far in the proper old-school text adventures. Maybe my English wasn't up to par then, or I just preferred to spend the time on more graphical games (not that I didn't play lots of roguelikes). But I've enjoyed a couple of newer interactive fiction games, Photopia, 9:05 and ... this single-turn game I can't remember the name of. These are all pretty short, and I suppose I never really got into the interactive fiction scene, as interesting as it seems to me. --Eino

Ha ha, this is moving so fast. Good going! Dangerous-era MJ was one of the things that I, too, here from the side, was thinking would be great for this concept. Now, someone needs to do a demoscene/doskpop style mix for this as well (and by "someone", I do mean Mazedude). --Eino

This was intended as a claim. --Eino

Requiem please! (: --Eino

Sounds like a sound concept! Good luck, I'll keep an eye on this one! --Eino

What a good round! I left an incomplete comment on Zerothemaster's piece, so I'll PM it to them. The vote itself is correct. justsoyouknow edit: I also forgot to credit spellmynamewithabang's Grasstown WIP for giving me the idea for including Grasstown in my compo piece. --Eino

The composition sounds really good to me, it's a believable random RPG battle theme. It's also not the most predictable thing, there's interesting chord changes, nice start-stops with the beat and so. If I came across this in a game, I would be considering to make an arrangement of it myself. (: Mixing sounds a bit distant and muffled. The beginning with just the drum+bass and thin strings is not engaging. With a battle theme, you want to pull the listener in from the first second I think? Needs a rush-of-adrenaline type of a start! That's really the only thing that left something to be desired in the composition/arrangement. Your playing sounds pretty good. I'm looking forward to your forthcoming arrangements! --Eino

Consider from UFO: Enemy Unknown (aka XCOM: Ufo Defence) - take part both in People's Remixing Competition #251 and in the PC ReMix initiative with single stone! (:--Eino

My pick for People's Remixing Competition #251 is from UFO: Enemy Unknown (aka XCOM: Ufo Defence), the classic strategy/tactical combat game from Julian Gollop (etc, music by John Broomhall), published by Microprose in 1994. (There's also a theme from Ristar usable in the round).I think one can do a lot with this piece, lots of material there! I hope we get a good number of submissions, and hopefully some will eventually land on OCR - please consider taking part in the compo if the track is familiar to you or it inspires you! And if you happen to win the round, you get to pick a familiar PC soundtrack piece for the next round! (: --Eino

That's what university's for. +1 Tuberlove --Eino

Cool! I don't have the opportunity to update my track, but I'm happy I can participate with what I have. Uploaded! --Eino

Oops, failed to observe the deadline being a bit earlier than usual. Misc. Robotics Source: Cave Story - Mischievous Robot Completely unpolished, but I did get the full structure down. I recorded two simple guitar tracks, both are one take but the other is edited a bit. I had very little time to come up with the synth & organ parts or to vary up the drums. Well, it's supposed to be kind of a "steady" piece.. I referenced On To Grasstown and Moonsong in the later solo section. cheers! --Eino

Yeah, I was thinking of posting some previous track(s), updated, as bonus mixes.. but you can only post one track per account (the compo rules allow posting several, but it's just difficult technically) so I'm not sure I'll bother (: Anyway, I think it's a good idea! --Eino

Looks like you made it, congrats! Hope you still get a good bunch of pledges. I haven't had the time to check the available build out, but it sure sounds promising. Good luck with the project! --Eino
