Back in my day, Shadowrunners used cyberdecks and we LIKED IT.

Okay, but, like, hear me out. Kinda want to push this further, musically, but it makes me yearn for an event that plays with this idea. 🎶 #deadbydaylight #retro #VGM #covermusic #gamemusic (Sega 'ditties' splash provided by @feralknights.bsky.social )

Next on rotation: ToeJam Jammin’ from the beautiful mess that is the #Genesis classic ToeJam & Earl. If this doesn’t make you mentally hear screeching Super Hi-Tops, random belches, and that elevator ding, I’ve failed you. #vgm #gamemusic #toejamandearl

Here is my soprano saxophone cover of 'Gusty Garden Galaxy' originally from the game "Super Mario Galaxy." Listening to this song has always put me in a good mood. Hope you enjoy! 🎷• 🎹

All of the Bubsy buzz really makes us want to go back and finish a cover of one of the Genesis ditties from Bubsy 2. 😹

Four more tracks already in the hopper for the next release. Really hoping to exhume some really oft-neglected tracks, though, so as to not fall into the trap of covering the tracks that everyone already knows. 🤔

Shuffling over to track 8 of our Bitslapped release, we have Pirate Lagoon from Diddy Kong Racing, released on the #N64 in 1997. Originally composed by the legendary @davidwise.bsky.social, lovingly covered using fresh instrumentation. #vgm #gamemusic #gameaudio #gaming

First track from Bitslapped: The main theme from Space Harrier, which was released by #Sega to the #Arcade in 1985. Had a lot of fun with this one and tried to preserve the nostalgic vibe by combining synth with orchestral voices. Feedback welcome! #retrogaming #vgm #gamemusic #gameaudio #gaming

BUUUUG JUUUUUICE!
#vgm Cover of Insectia from Bug! for Saturn and Windows PC. Really wanted to jazz it up a bit more, and this is the result. Tossed in some trivia and other details as there was some nostalgia for VH1's Pop-Up Video show. #gamemusic #videogamemusic

We literally didn't even know that Uniracers existed until a week ago, and now we can't get its title song out of our heads. Guess that means it's going to end up in the next release. #vgm #vgmusic #gamemusic #videogamemusic

KRAK Street from NARC (Arcade and NES). Tons of memories of this game and its #vgm, made with love for Brian Schmidt's (@gamesound.bsky.social) original work. Licensed cover. Visuals generated in FL Studio. youtu.be/EJA5bQsuTJI
