I got to a point to where I listened to nothing but the original "Pallar Anders Visa" from In Flames on my commute to work, at work, and from work.

I amused myself by looking for an "8-bit NES" version of this song just to see how it sounds, and found one on YouTube by user wMatteo. Being a real stickler for how NES remixes sound, I was terribly disappointed. So, I decided to make one of my own.

This is the first version I made, using OpenMPT, an Amiga music module editor. "ver.A" strictly follows the number of voices that the NES can produce simultaneously: 2 square wave channels and 1 triangle wave channel. Needless to say, it seems to be lacking, due to the inadequate amount of polyphony the 3-channel set up has to offer. I will eventually write a "ver.B" that maintains the NES-like instruments, but expands the channels to as many channels needed to make a more faithful composition.
