Soldier Blade - Operation 1 (YM2612 Arrange)

Requested by kevkev. It sounded kinda empty as a straight cover, so I added stuff.

Megaman 4 - Skull Man Stage (YM2612 Arrange)

Covered Gaiares Mission 1 on its own soundchip!

Gaiares - Mission 1 Redux (100% YM2612)

Okay, so I'm stepping into the remix department a bit and this one came out obscure. Obscure remix for an obscure game. I was considering not posting it, but I didn't want to throw all the work I did away.

Crisis Force came out a year before the SNES was released so it didn't get much attention. This was Konami's last shmup on NES. Never released in the US or for any other platform. It even has 2 player co-op.

Crisis Force - Stage 3 Remix (YM2612 Arrange)

This is the Ys Origin version, remade in YM2612. I think it sounds best without drums, but I uploaded both versions anyway.

Ys Origin - Tower of the Shadow of Death (YM2612 Arrange cover)

My YM2612 remix-ish of NES Gradius 2's "Something Ghostly"

It's a little bit challenging to expand on a song that's basically 3 repeating sections, 21 seconds total.

RoboWarrior - Overworld Theme 1 (Arrange)

This game has not been released yet. Please go vote for it on Steam Greenlight. It's an 8-bit metroidvania throwback:

Created by Kayin Nasaki, the same person that made the game "I Wanna Be The Guy." He's been working on this for at least 5 years now. I saw the Greenlight page, then had to find the music. Hope the soundtrack gets released with it.

Necrophageon is the original composer of this fine melody.

Brave Earth: Prologue - Outpost (YM2612 Arrange cover)

Hyper Light Drifter just came out on Steam and will be out on Consoles soon. The original version of "Cathedral X" grabbed me within the first few seconds of it playing. The music in this game is very ambient, so it was a challenge to piece the ambient versions leading into X.

Originally composed by Disasterpeace who also did the OST for Fez.

Hyper Light Drifter - Cult of the Zealous (remix in YM2612 Arrange)

My YM2612 cover for Shovel Knight's Strike the Earth. Jake Kaufman (aka Virt) is a madman at his music writing.
