New synthwave looper dropped earlier in the year. I recall writing this just on the heels of getting back from Sacrimento. It's really cool because it's rare I write anything in a major key - but what makes this neat to me is how it contrasts major and minor keys, sort of like Day and Night. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ayz9wVSwQQ
This one started with a Looper but is about 90% Midi with some Cars-ish inspired guitar work. Jazzmasters IIRC. Kind of felt it sounded like a mix between The Cars and some very early Prince stuff, either that or early 80's Blue Oyster Cult in vibe. Sort of funny because NONE of this is copyrighted by anyone else, unless it's @BandLab (who did the looper - which is only one track) - so YouTube's copyright robots are f***ing stupid!

Played through Super Mario Bros 3 on a fluke while recording with my USB Dv Capture Rig. This was played on a REAL vintage 8-bit NES, with a REAL original 1990 cartridge, with no cheats, no savestates, and all deaths recorded.

We get the Water Crest from Hamlin, and then start grinding, to level up, and start working towards a Falcon Sword before we start taking an actual stab at the Under Sea Cave to snag yet another quest item. We also manage to survive a sea voyage from another town without a healer to revive Talint the Un-Talinted!

Well, I'm back with some more NES stuff, though this time it's just showing off some Translated versions of some Japanese-only Famicom games (aka, the NES in Japan).
1) Akumajou Special - Boku Dracula Kun - Essentially, it's a kiddie-version of Castlevania, note how it's got all the characters "lightened up" and an upkey remix of the song from Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse.
2.) Hello Kitty World - Yeah, I know, it's a "girls game", but I just had to see what kind of craziness this game would have.
3.) Herakles no Eikou 2 - titan no Metsubou - RPG in the Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest vein, kind of boring though, and seemingly odd that one cannot get out of the town to go fight and build experience. Something I might have to explore more in the future.
4.) Juuouki - Not sure what the word means, but from what I can tell, you are a muscle man fighting zombies, strange purple and green guys, dogs, and pterodactyls. Seems kind of close to Bad Dudes or Demon Sword.
5.) Kero Kero Keroppi no Dai Bouken 2 - Dnuts Ike ha Ooswagi - Whoah! What a long title. Basically, it's a cutsey semi-Mario-like game about a froggy. It's actually a favorite, I think it could have done fairly well in the US.
6.) Taiyou no Yuusha Fighbird - Really cool top-down view shooter game, sort of like 1943, Kings Knight, or Ikari Warriors, but with this cool feature to change vehicles at will.

I think it's pretty obvious who I swiped some influence from on this one. I just needed those hollow vocal like leads and of course the obligatory flanger-stab on the chorus. Just sorta popped in my head after the last one.
For those that don't know, kind of pulling a Loverboy aka. Paul Dean influence on this one. Might have more coming as I feel like.
