Retro game music covers

This one should bring back a few memories for sure

Uileann pipes are a serious undertaking no wonder times at a premium. Takes most people a year to get any way comfortable.

BGOllie · 05-07-2017 3:14pm

well yes and no, most of these tunes are pretty simple compared to the full500 notes at 120bpm format that trad music dispences . They're much easier to learn in a short amount of time... that and it's pretty much the only tune I can play on it

I litterally spent a month and a half, learning JUST that

Mr E · 05-07-2017 3:18pm

Amazing Ollie, one of your best!

BGOllie · 12-07-2017 3:39pm

Knees in the face and white panties !

Mr E · 12-07-2017 4:44pm

Great version, Ollie!

Since you're taking requests, what about a Shinobi medley with some of these?

grab a red car and a blond wig ... and a sunny day

BGOllie · 05-10-2017 1:15pm

finished this one yesterday. Going back to my first love for VGM : Castlevania

BGOllie · 06-12-2017 12:39pm

it's been a while. I did a few more castlevania covers ... and a couple more to do before the end of the year .

BGOllie · 15-03-2018 2:39pm

finished another Amiga track cover recently .

This prompted composer, Barry Leitch to contact me and we started chatting and ended up doing a video chat together for my podcast. This should be all ready and released Saturday.
On a side note I've also convinced David Wise and Chris Huelsbeck to join me at some point, well, when we find a suitable time

Mr E · 15-03-2018 3:28pm

That's my new favourite BGO track, Ollie. Lovely and clean and very melodic. Great job.

The owner of c64audio.com was notified this week that Anthony Lees, the composer of that track, passed away in a car accident in 2016.

There's an obituary for Anthony here:

Amazing cover though.

And now I've just seen that Ben Daglish who also composed the last ninja soundtrack has passed away on Monday. His wife posted it using his Facebook account earlier today.

Such a shame, died too young.

BGOllie · 22-03-2019 12:59am

man I let that thread slip

here's the latest, although I feel a lot of folks here follow the channel or the FB page .
Anyway, Batman : Streets of Desolation.
I'm planning a Amiga month for A...pril , sth arcade for June and an MSX month too at some point this year (prob should have been March now that I think of it)

fresh off the tube :

Mr E · 28-03-2019 3:48pm

Great job, Ollie. I've listened to this a few times since yesterday.

It really shows up how truly awful the music is in the last few Yoshi games (including Crafted World, out tomorrow...)

Night and day...

Very sad to hear. And Ben Daglish only a couple of years ago too albeit due to illness. Pretty sure someone posted a link to one of the songs from a performance of the Fastloaders with Ben Daglish not long before his death, and not sure if it counts as a cover if it's the original composer performing it ... but here goes :
