    New cover is out. This week I'm taking a few cold ones and going back to Turrican2 on the Agmiga 500 with a cover of "Traps" .

    Do you guys realize how Ollie's cover's would be perfect for the intro of the Irish Retro Gaming Series / Documentary that was proposed?

    I mean you can't get more Irish than banjos, and more relevant than Retro Gaming Covers.

    I would nominate this one personally for a series, if he was so kind to let us use it....

    sure, use whatever you want :)
    I'll gladly help too if i can & if you want to bring me up to speed with it.. it's a long thread and it's hard to know what's been done and where it's at ...and what it's about :)

    Its something that has fell by the wayside for now, i think Steve plans to come back to it when he has the time to put into it.

    I think we should do something a bit more amateur and fun in the mean time, I might bump that thread soon to reopen the discussion.

    amateur sounds good :)
    My own channel revolves around a borrowed, cheapest-of-cheap, banjo, a €50 mic and I record the video parts with my mobile phone :D
    doesn't get more amateur than that

    I think getting it done is far more important than being idealistic wanting the best cameras, putting long hours into the small details, and never getting anything done! :P

    I'd love to see an album based around a single title, like OoT, with each tune done plus a video, though I know you do it all in your free time.
    I'm sure there are those here who will help in anyway.

    Ollie when you started this thread, did you plan to use it solely for your own covers, or for general covers done by other people also?

    We have a chiptune thread that could be broadened a general VGM thread, and VGM covers thread for that kind of thing.

    I was practically the only one posting regularly in it, and broadening it would result in more posts i'd imagine.

    You'll probably get all polite and say you don't mind people posting other covers in your thread I'm predicting. :P

    well I'm a genuinely polite guy :)
    I started the thread just to post one single vid. really but when people said they liked it I asked the mods if you I could post more. But of course it's open to other VGM.
    But if there's already a VGM cover thread, we could close this one and I can post in there .

    Speaking of which, here's this week's ^^

    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 .
