It’s Wednesday, and there’s not much to report on the Escape Goat front. I’m currently making sure the game can cope with multiple worlds, so the player can play the campaign or user-created worlds from the title menu. Straightforward so far: fingers crossed. From here on out, it’s just ticking off the boxes until it’s what I consider beta.
For a change of pace, I’d like to offer up some video game music favorites.
First off is a page of metal and classical guitar remixes of NES and SNES tunes, by Famicom Guitar. (Hint: subscribe to @Surasshu on Twitter to have awesome links like this land in your feed.) Be sure to check out:
- Disc 3, track 5: Final Fantasy IV, The Dreadful Fight
- Disc 3, track 9: Dragon Quest II, file select theme
- Disc 3, track 10: Ninja Gaiden, (level one theme?)
- Disc 2, track 7: Adventure of Link, town theme
- Disc 1, track 2: Ducktales, the freakin’ MOON
- Disc 1, track 4, Megaman 2 opening theme monster ballad
- Disc 1, track 5, Super Mario Bros. 2 main BGM
- Disc 1, track 8, Dragon Quest 2 overworld
Now let’s move on to some YouTube classics.
