This is kinda weird, but there seems to be an underground movement afoot to render classic songs in 8-bit Nintendo video game style.

Journey was a pioneer in this regard -- they were doing this nearly thirty years ago.

You haven't lived until you've heard "Don't Stop Believin'" in this format.

This is so damn cool, I don't know what to say. Although I admit, I couldn't endure the whole song!

I still have this game and my Atari 2600 (I also still have my Atari 400). This game blew even back then! It was also an arcade game. If I remember, the goal was to get the band to "escape" the autograph-seeking hounds. I can't remember if any groupies were in the game?

The groupies were the heart shaped things with legs.

I agree with IP -- cool, but the novelty wears off after a while.

Listening to this immediately made me think of Yellow Magic Orchestra's "Computer Game," which (coincidentally) I was just listening to a few days ago.

I posted that in the Simply with no response. Guess I should have found a better thread. :)
