How old are we talking, here?
As old as you want. I don't think anything from the Playstation/Nintendo 64 generation and higher would qualify as old enough, though. Maybe if they were released soon after the system...

So here's the question:
If you could have the choice to pick any one game from the good ole days and see it get revamped for a modern-gen console, what would it be? We can all agree some games would not be able to pull it off.
For the sake of starting, I would propose this.
I'm sick of seeing these new Sonic titles that have very little to do with the roots of the series.
Imagine a classic 2-D sonic game released on a current-gen with incredible graphics, mindblowing speed, and music such as the Sonic remixes on OCR. Who wouldn't be interested? They might could even throw in multiple tracks in the foreground and background that you could switch in and out of.

Top 5:
# 5 - Beating Crash Bandicoot with every gem.
# 4 - Completing Star Road on Super Mario World.
# 3 - First successful Brutality with Smoke on Ultimate MK3
# 2 - Beating K. Rool in the Lost World on DKC2.
# 1 - Playing Mega Man X for the first time, from 6 pm to around 3 am at my best friend's house. Took us forever to figure out how to beat Sigma.

Oh yeah.
I love to see mixes that are already strong but still show so much room to grow; that usually means it will be a major ass-kicking when it's finished.
So about the song. I thought the buildup could have been a tad faster. It wasn't so slow that I was daydreaming, but just enough that my concentration started to ebb.
Shift at 1:12 was nicely done.
1:40 to 2:20 is BEGGING for either a lead or harmonizing violin.
The rumble at 2:38 definitely merits some follow-up power; maybe an electric guitar?
Don't ask me why, but at 3:06 I started hearing some monks ala Halo style harmonizing with the main melody; pay no attention to this remark if you disagree (or any of them for that matter.)
Even without my comments, this mix is still good enough to go on my MP3 player as is. If this doesn't get passed I'm burning my virtual membership card.

Hmmm...
There are a lot of good sections here; personally I didn't start to like it until about 1:01 or so, I thought that would have been a much better opening than what you had at the start.
Later in the song when the high energy really kicks in is great (2:40). If you could string those two sections together with some more variety in between...
3:10 to 3:45 lost me a little, but from then on it was pretty good.
Just thoughts from my taste. Good luck, I think you could have something great here.

all i want is an ultra hard core/punk rock remix of the red/blue trainer battle...
Hell yes.
The latest link to this mix is not working... Got another one?
-
Can't wait to hear this finished. Big fan of your first Delay, this sounds like it could be even better. Really like the violin-esque riffs that kick in around 0:17. How about bringing more variety to those later in the song? The mix of techno and piano in the middle is a big strong point for me as well; would love to hear more of the same. Great stuff so far!

You know Carn,
Out of all the guys in Battle School I'd have figured Dink for a piano player...but you have proved me wrong here. Excellent style and emotion, keep bringin the goods.

I don't think I could possibly pick one from any game ever, but in response to the Mega Man posts I've seen...
Does anyone remember Sigma from X4? Yeah, it was kind of his trademark to have to kill him at least twice, but holy $#!% he was a whole new reason to cry in this one. The first stage you could do without getting hit if you were good. The second stage I don't care if you played this game eight hours every day, you would get hit and probably have to use one of your sub-tanks. Then on the third stage you have to fight two even harder forms of him simultaneously. I swear the guys at Capcom were laughing their asses off when they programmed this one...
BTW, I'm talking about playing as Zero, not X.
-
Hell's yeah. This has always been one of my favorite tracks of any video game, as far as mellow vibes go. Glad to see it getting the respect it deserves with remixes, and finally getting some fresh ideas. Very interesting choice to mix the synth with the piano in that fashion; had I been told about that before listening I would have been doubtful, but the result is top notch. A little curious as to the choices in the last minute or so, but the prior minutes are just too damn good to make me care. Keep it up, can't wait to hear more.

So many adjectives, so little time...
Definitely one of the best remixes I've ever heard. IMO, these guys could rule with a MMX remix concentrated around Dr. Light's theme and possibly the theme of Zero's death. Those two together in a similar rock arrangement could be just as epic as this one was. Maybe they'll read this and take me up on that...
Stellar work guys; you just gave us all something to rock out to for months to come.

Somebody give Plazmataz some feedback so he can finish this and get it past the judges so I can hear the final version. Do it, DO IT NOW!
