    I'm going back all Arcade and whatnot this week with this cover.
    This was my 1 credit party trick back in the days when I had hair in all the right places ... oh yeah! :)

    what better to start the week than a good fight, FF style ?
    This one took me a while to finish. 14 video tracks for 18 audio layers.
    This is the hardest cover I've worked on to date. Final Fantasy VII - Battle Theme .

    ok it's happening so I should be ok saying it, although it'll only be announced publicly at the end of the week for my next cover.

    Most of the big retro heads in terms of youtubers would be involved with retroware. Up until recently, the game chasers were part of it. http://retrowaretv.com/category/shows/

    thanks a lot. I'm delighted with it.
    It'll be official on sunday with my next cover ( Still alive from portal) so I'll be sporting the retrowaretv intro and all that :)
    it comes with passes to some of the conventions, although it might be tricky to get there & I should be able to represent the MSX in the Video Game Years series :)

    These really are something else. Just listened to Chrono Trigger Corridors of Time again and it blew me away.

    Wouldnt be into J-pop or whatever at all, but i have to say that is one of your top covers right there, it's epic!

    The video editing and camera shots were amazing too and worked really well.

    You really went out with a bang for the end of the year!

    ok it's neither arcade, nor game, slightly retro though and deliberately cheesy but my last cover was on Enter Sandman and it's got picked up my metal sites and is going mental viral :)



    order will be restored this saturday with a Shovel Knight cover though :)
