Street Fighter 2 & Not So Much Free Time
Posted in Games, Reports, Seph Carissa / texx sound
So I did it again, but this time with a different game: After ripping the music-instrument samples from F-Zero and creating a soundfont out of it, I attempted just the same with Street Fighter 2 for the Super Nintendo. If you’re looking for some technical insights in Capcom’s SNES music, wanna listen to some music or just the frickin’ download for the soundfont, you’ve come to the right place!

F-Zero & Too Much Free Time
Posted in Games, Music, Reports, Retro
Today was National Day in Austria and I had some free time on my hands. That’s why I tried hard not to get some work done today. “I’ll be messing around with my Super Nintendo,” I told Conny. And she said “Alright. Have fun with it.” And I did. But in a totally unexpected way. Read on if you want to learn about F-Zero and a little about the making of its music…

BleepCast – Level 2
Posted in BleepCast, Games, Rants
This new episode of the BleepCast is all about ninjas, the sneaky Japanese spies that overran games & movies in the 80′s and have either gradually disappeared or gradually perfected their stealth since their first appearance in 1983 on the CoCo. A shinobi may be silent but their quests have always been accompanied by some epic exotic scores. Let’s follow the ninja and listen to his melodies.

BleepCast – Level 1
Posted in BleepCast, Computing, Music, Retro
There it is, what you haven’t been waiting for ever since: The BleepCast podcast is all about chip-music, retro gaming and memories from the good old times when we all were young and begun having no life, instead indulging in shitty games with shitty music, or as we call it: “Classics with epic soundtracks”. So if you want me to take you back to the past to play the shitty games that suck ass, then you just discovered your favorite podcast!

Homo Ludens
Posted in Games, Reports, Retro
Max, a former fellow student, asked me a few weeks ago whether I was interested in buying some old gaming consoles with a bunch of games from him. Since I started collecting and maintaining old computers and gaming consoles a couple of years ago, starting with the few I had since I was a kid, I was interested in Max’ offer, expecting not more than a few dusty plastic boxes with missing cables and scratched game discs with broken jewel cases to add to my museum. Man, was I wrong!

My somewhat World Record(s)

Actually I set up these records back in August but since late October they are verified by the referees and are now official: I am the world’s best Dr. Mario player (Super Nintendo version) and world’s number 4 in Tetris (GameBoy) as can be inspected here at Twin Galaxies.

Girls and Games. And Mega Man.
Posted in Games, Quotes, Retro
A few days ago I received the Metroid: Zero Mission GBA game. I play lots of GBA games on my DS because they’re much cheaper and the same fun. But I must confess: I’ve never played any game of the Metroid series before.

♫ Lord of the Rats
Posted in Music, Rants, Seph Carissa / texx sound
My recent submission Lord of the Rats (listen below) for OverClocked Remix was rejected, I’ve worked on it for about five weeks. But I just sensed the rejection coming on the horizon but didn’t dare to look.
