[OCR00274 - Bomberman "Chip Trip"]

A really cool mix, I really like it!

However, this mix sounds more like its inspiration was from Mega Bomberman on the Sega than from the standard NES version of Bomberman. Its still very original, but some of the extra background in this mix isn't from the NES, but is also on Mega Bomberman.

Here is the GYM of it, if anyone is interested

This is...

indeed...

very owny.

The only reason this isn't 10/10 is the guitar is overly loud. I played with my setup a bit and it never sounded totally right. They just seemed a bit *too* loud. Reguardless, thats a minor thing compared to the overall quality of this mix.

9.5/10

[OCR00035 - Gradius "X"]

Wow late reply for me

I actually have this file dated 08/29/2000 in an XM coded with Fast Tracker. Same song, but that explains the reason the encoding sounds bad, all the samples were 16-bit samples and rather small.

Can download the XM from http://www.ffmaps.com/images/pub/GRADIUSX.XM if you want.

This is good and original, I like it. I cant keep this on my playlist, though. I dont know why but it would get annoying on a playlist. However, its a very original mix none-the-less and theres no better game to remix imo than Guardian Legend. $$

7/10

[OCR01211 - Star Ocean: Blue Sphere "Killer Dokko"]

This is the only remix from the game though. So you can't really compare it to the remixes from Star Ocean, which is a different game alltogether.

I agree with this. Review the song itself, not how it compares to others.

I loved the energy in this song a lot. The only thing that I find kinda lacking is the very very heavy game feel to it. Granted, its a game remix, but other than the guitars, it sounds like it could be played back on a snes. Was that the overall intention? I have a hard time rating this personally, cuz.. I do enjoy it a lot (Hell I can spend all day listening to SPCs and NSFs ), but in terms of originality, I don't know. I'll give it a 7.5/10 but I think it could easily be improved to a 8.0-8.5 if it sounded a little less gamey/tracked. Great job for a first submission, however, look forward to the next track!

[OCR01232 - Raiden II "Airborne"]

I really don't like the background sound. I think this mix would have been better without it, permaps something a little less explicit and whacky sounding - but there are some parts in it that are really cool, especially starting at 2:28 and the stuff around 3:00. 6/10.

[OCR01217 - Laser Squad "Mission Recalled"]

Synths are classic Amiga style. You can definately hear the mod feel in it. I liked it a lot! I'm trying to vision what this would sound like on an XM arrangement for a more gamey feel 8.5/10

[OCR01227 - Final Fantasy IX "Shepherd Won't Alone"]

Considering the tools available (SC-8850, etc) this is a well done mix. I think the percussion is a tad too generic and plain, but thats the SC for ya.

I would love to hear more - the flutes at 1:15 were lovely to hear. 7.5/10

[OCR01226 - Chrono Trigger "Rhodes to the Past"]

Drums were very well done. Overall, though this mix is missing something for me. I dont know what it is though, but I can't see myself listening to this as often as other mixes, but its not too bad. Again, the drums were done exceptionally well imo.. 7/10

[OCR01219 - Chrono Trigger "Calamitous Judgment"]

I liked it a lot!

The ONLY thing that disturbed me a little bit was the feeling I was listening to a christmas tune (Especially around 1:11), however the mix of orchestral sounds with the beat, and addition of synths made for a really really cool remix. This will be on my playlist for awhile.

8.5/10

[OCR01216 - Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind "Fear Not"]

Sounds good, dont really like the piano, but for your first submission, this is really good

[OCR01208 - Legend of Zelda "Eutopia Pegasi"]

Beautiful mix, enjoyed it a lot. Good job!

[OCR01236 - Space Harrier "I Got the Spacebeam"]

Did not like it much, sorry

[OCR01235 - Mega Man X2, X3 & X1 "Beamsabre Beat ZERO v2"]

HEY

Obviously I wasnt refering to you Darkesword, I would think you dont judge your own remix for posting

In all honesty, I have yet to find a mix you've made that I didnt like I just find that I personally REALLY enjoy several mixes that judges are most harsh on.

[OCR01235 - Mega Man X2, X3 & X1 "Beamsabre Beat ZERO v2"]

Sometimes I wonder what the judges panel is smoking. This is a fantastic mix, not to mention the first X2 mix.

There is nothing wrong with this mix, makes me want to break out X2 and start playing again.

All techno is generic guys, you either like it or you dont. I have never heard any "revolutionary" techno. As for this song, this has a eurobeat sound to it, something kinda like outta Initial-D anime.

I like it a lot, its one of my top 10 from this site.

Good job, Darkesword.

[OCR01124 - Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker "Pirates of Dragon Roost Isle"]

Good stuff, thumbs up. Gave me chills when I heard it first time.

[OCR01114 - Dance Dance Revolution 4th Mix "4F73R M3"]

Mad props echoing most - nice to see some DDRs get remixed.

But I agree with general sentiment. B4U is a get up and dance jam, not really this. But its good, standing alone, nonetheless. Just hard to listen to this then the real song.

[OCR00807 - Guardian Legend "Naju Overture"]

This is my favorite mix on ocremix and I'm by far a techno/synth freak

Excellent job.
