Clearly, I haven't gotten over this "Super Mario Land - Muda Kingdom stage" thing yet. Why? I don't know... because ... ... ... videogames!

Who won the game? Who lost? What were the standings?

(I'm getting better at matching the music that randomly appears in my headspace with the music that shows up in the DAW.)

(I'm just getting this melody down before it leaves my mind, so I can work on it later.)

The following is not a remix at all. It's a quick and dirty beat-match of the Pre-Launch beat from the pinball game Jack*Bot with “Joker’s Jive” from The Joker’s Wild game show.

If you don't recognize “Joker’s Jive”, it’s because they used this theme for only one season of the show.

What does “Joker’s Jive” have to do with Jack*Bot? Well the Casino Run is basically the “Face the Devil” bonus round except with points, prizes and bombs, instead of money and The Devil.

If I had the programming skill I would try to put samples of Jack Barry calling out the dollar amounts during the Casino Run.

"TWENTY-FIVE! ONE-FIFTY! SEVENTY-FIVE!" Yes I know there are some other numbers in the  Casino Run that wouldn't have samples (like 20, 35, 40) because they aren't on the Joker's Wild slot machine. Let me keep my dream, OK?

Keep flipping! ^_^

A remix of the opening theme to Super Mario RPG for the SNES. I really like Super Mario RPG. I think I'll play it again!

A user from Newgrounds said this track might give him diabetes but in a good way. 

Needless to say, that made me very happy.

UPDATE:I submitted this track for a contest called, "Happy Happy Joy" at the Hooked in 60 Seconds web site. Please vote on it at this site:

I got so hooked while playing Mr. Do's Castle in the arcade that I came up with this little mix of the themes from it.

  Mixed in are:

  1. Main Theme 
  2. Jingle when you get the castle shield 
  3. Jingle when you complete E-X-T-R-A 
  4. High Score Jingle

  This game is also known as Mr. Do vs. the Unicorns.

One day, I was playing some Sonic 3 & Knuckles and one of ATB's tracks called "Don't Stop" started playing from my iTunes. A thought entered my head: The main hook for "Don't Stop" sounds like it would fit well with the title theme for Sonic 3 and Knuckles if I change the pitch just a little bit. 

What would happen if I remixed the two ideas; what kind of fun could I have? Here's the result.

Jack*Bot Pinball | Super Jack*Bot Winner | Pinball Fan Remix [320 CBR]

Mixed in portions of these themes:

1. Galaga's Starting Theme 
2. Galaga's Challenging Stage (when you get a perfect score) 
3. Galaga's Enter your initials 
4. Galaga's Enter your initials (when you get the number one high score)

What if the original Galaga had an ending theme?

Speaking of which, I'm going to go NOT play some emulated Galaga '88/'90 right now. ;)

Why is this called "Galaga Intermission" instead of "Galaga Ending?" Because, after you "finish" a round of Galaga, the best thing to do is to take a break... before playing some more Galaga!

What if we had a good game show about video games. A GOOD one, not like "Video Power" (meh) or Nick Arcade (awful!). What I'm saying is, what if something like Starcade came back and they used retro video games and the first game played was Mega Man 1 for the ca$h and prizes.

I imagine the theme song might go a little something like this.

Please don't mind me...I'm just a little random sometimes.

Yes, I am sober right now... ^_^

Megaman | Rockman Game Show [320 CBR]

This is another case of what happens when a track from a game gets stuck in my head, and I have to do something about it.

Inspired by the game Puyo Puyo Sun for the Sega ST-V arcade motherboard (JAMMA). It's a remix of the music you hear when you get the top score on the leaderboard.


Puyo Puyo Sun | The Sun Champion [320 CBR]

In the year 2000, eGames relased a quaint little Tetris clone called "Galaxy of 3D Tetrimania." It was, essentially, Tetris with pseudo-3D shapes on a standard Tetris playing field with pseudo-3D graphics. And, for some reason, I got hooked on it. I particularly enjoyed the music in the background when I got to stage 3, which inspired this track.

Also, you might be able to pick out how Mario games have forged a special place in my heart. I just had to do a key-changed version of the invincible theme in there (it just sounded right to me) and, if you listen closely, there is a very small measure of the Super Mario Brothers theme.

Galaxy of 3D Tetrimania | The Third Tetrimania [320 CBR]

In 1993, I played a game called "Ken's Labyrinth." a first-person shooter game designed by Ken Silverman. 

Ken designed the engine used for Duke Nukem 3D.

The music that inspired this remix is not found on a level. It's the music you hear when you get a game over screen and are asked to try again.

Two notes about the original track: The original is only 18 seconds long and, for some reason, I remember "trancing-out" once when I was listening to it.

Although I remember finishing the game back in the day, I'm not sure you can hear the music that inspired this track when you beat the game. I will download the game to see if I can beat it again.

You can download the game (it is now freeware) on "The official Ken's Labyrinth page" at http://advsys.net/ken/klab.htm

Jelly Bean Factory | Game Over [320 CBR]

Every platform game must include the obligatory ice or snow level where, sometimes, the player can lose a bit of control over their avatar. It's like a law or something.

Anyway, this is the music I would like for the snow level of my platform game... which doesn't exist.

Here's an attempt to make the game over music for my game that doesn't exist. ^_^

Let's have a little fun with a Christmas Song! I love this rant.

"Hey! If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is!

Favorite Quote:
"Ride that beast! Ride that Perfectly Normal Beast, Sandwich Maker!"
-H2G2

My primary gaming passion is arcade pinball. I am currently ranked among the top 50 pinball players in the world. 

I've played video games since I was about 2 years old. My first game was "Intellivision Las Vegas Poker &amp; Blackjack," which helped me to learn math. Although, I remember that my 2-year old self initially found it difficult to understand these things while playing blackjack:

1. Why 'J', 'Q' and 'K' were the same as the number 10.
2. Why, when I chose double down, that sometimes I would have a whole lot of money, and other times I would lose a crapload.

As far as video gaming goes, I can pretty much have fun with anything except simulation sports games (sorry Madden, NBA, NHL, and MLB insert number here). I'll find the fun in most games, even some 3D Sonic games, like Sonic Unleashed... for the Wii... umm, yeah. I'm always behind the current trends because I will not pay full price just so I can say I had the game "day one". I'll get most of of my games as cheaply as I can, and usually in bunches that end up unplayed for a long time.

Speaking of the video game stack of shame, my embarrassing backlog is embarrassing. Mainly because some of the time I would devote to videogames is taken up by arcade pinball competitions and tournaments.

For those who may be wondering (all 2 of you) "fun with bonus" is what happens when you lose your ball and the pinball game gives you whatever bonus you have earned. However, most pinball games don't just give you the bonus. some games will give you some base points, then put a multiplier to it, then add some more points from bonus modes, and then count up the bonus for you with quirky sound effects like it's some sort of telethon. The game is having fun with your bonus. This is where the pinball jargon "fun with bonus" comes from.

Fun with bonus moments happen in video games as well. Shmups go through a fun with bonus mode usually at the end of stages to tell how well you did. Players receive mountainous amounts of bonus points after the game calculates the number of medals, combos, and other skillful things they did during the stage. Maybe that is part of the reason why I like shmups even though I am not very good at them.
