Alternate Reality Intro Music Recreation Last Half - A euphoric melody remake of a 1980's RPG

Through all the years of playing games, what stands out the most isn't always the gameplay, but that soundtrack that plays in the background to set the tone of the game being played. The creepyness of Silent Hill, the upbeat tempo of Arkanoid on the C64, or even the melody of Zelda still playing in our minds to this day. So why am I mentioning this now? Well Jace Hall has found his musical love, as he has done a recreation of the melody of Alternate Reality - The City, an RPG type game released by the American company Datasoft in 1985-88 for a multitude of computers.

Giana Sisters DS - Giana Sisters for the Nintendo DS gets the C64 SID treatment

On my C64 at home I have well over a thousand C64 SID tunes, ranging from music used in classic games in the 80's, to homebrews and even tunes used in scene demos. But this evenings release via CSDb is a little bit special. As LMan has made available for the C64 his SID remake of the 2009 Nintendo DS version of Giana Sisters, which was composed and arranged by Fabian del Priore aka Rapture, and is itself a cover of Chris Hülsbeck's original Giana Sisters Title Theme.

RESHOOT R - Richard Löwenstein's new Amiga game gets a wicked soundtrack

Another Amiga update as Richard Löwenstein, the same developer behind the commercial enemy wave blaster on the Amiga called ' Reshoot ', has shown off a music teaser for his previously announced in development Shoot em up coming in 2017 for the same system as 'RESHOOT R'. Coded in pure assembler language, RESHOOT R will almost follow the same game style as the first game but be louder, more colourful, more playable, more spectacular and now more upbeat!

RGDS Podcast Presents - Born Slippy (Indie Trance Remix) for the Amiga

Aaron White of RGDS Podcast has gone back to his other speciality, remixing old music tracks onto the Amiga. This time though he's done a bit of Trainspotting, as he has released the RGDS Podcast Presents - Born Slippy (Indie Trance Remix); a trance remix of Born Slippy, the massive number one track by Underworld, taken from the film Trainspotting! Overall though, this is a very decent remix that would sound great with a big Subwoofer, oh and if you're interested, they are making a sequel to the Trainspotting movie!

RGDS Presents - 2 Unlimited (RGDS Megamix) by Aaron White (Amiga)

Ah finally, a worthy tune indeed for the Amiga, as Aaron White has pushed out another Sampled remix with the latest ' RGDS Presents - 2 Unlimited (RGDS Megamix) for his friend @freakin_frankie. Yes indeed, it's the original 1990's upbeat dance team of 2 unlimited, that I used to listen to all those years ago. Featuring Get Ready For This, Tribal Dance and No Limits, all put together that sounds as cool then as it does now! In fact it's so feature packed, Aaron has actually had to cut down the module to fit it on the disk and enclosed the full version separately in the download below!

RGDS Presents - Aaron White's Amiga Jamiroquai (Space Cowboy Club Mix)

It's the weekend and that means it's time for another Aaron White release from our good friends RGDS, who do cool podcasts with lots of retro chat. In this sample track for your Amiga, Aaron White has taken us back in time to the 90's with none other than Space Cowboy from Jamiroquai in RGDS Presents - Jamiroquai's (Space Cowboy Club Mix) remixed by Aaron White, which was all sampled on an Amiga 1200. If you remember the original, then this remix is as good as it gets, it's just shame that I never liked the song artist, his dress style or the awful original.

A double track Amiga special from Aaron White

While we wait for the epic Aaron White special that hopefully will appear before Christmas, he's decided to take some time out and work on a couple of sample disks for the Amiga, that many of you may remember of during the 90's dance scene. The first one is the ' Urban Cookie Collective ' - ' The Key the Secret ' in loving memory of Diane Charlemagne, with all the samples done by himself, Aaron White. Which if I remember correctly of the original, was always played on the Radio, while my Mum drove me about in her XR3i!

Press Play On Tape - C64 Comic Bakery Larger Than Pop Remix

I usually wait till Sundays for showing the best or latest in retro remixes but this tune is just class! Now I'm not one for boy bands, no I don't swing that way :p but this tune is seriously cool. It has a slight C64 love making tone to it as well, especially with the guy making out with the C64 in bed! Still though, the tune is very well done and worthy of a listen. - Press Play On Tape - Comic Bakery Larger Than Pop Remix
