hey southernpickle, how did you make this video?

[southernpickle]

1. I downloaded the mp3.

2. I found a picture of DKR online.

3. I put them together in Windows Movie Maker (I think all Windows computers come with that already installed).

4. I saved it as a movie file and uploaded it to Youtube as you see it now.

And that's it.

I swear, games with music like this are largely responsible for the musical talent I have today. Just listening to them as you playing for hours. really builds a child's rythmic ability

I wish they would release this on Virtual Console...

@jelizan Haha, your comment made me laugh since I am a metal drummer but I love these songs!

@TheKnightWhoSaidNi Couldn't have said it better myself!!!

[IPAColosseum]

My favorite level and song as a kid!

[legomovieman94]

@TheKnightWhoSaidNi People are so stupid about things like that, it's pathetic that people would rather play monotonous permanently brown-hued gunfests than a well-made game with a varied colour pallette and interesting characters simply because they think the latter is too "kiddie" for them. There are definately some darker games that are good and lighter games that are bad, but it's depressing how people instantly base a game's quality on how "mature" they think it is.

Always my favourite track as a kid. :D

[SESdisciple]

Best track in the game. Best music.

@jelizan A very interesting point you've got there! :) Like man, I've been listening to vg music all my life, so it's no wonder that certain kinds of stuff gets embedded into your brain and musical ability :D I'm pretty sure that certain kinds of melody structures that I tend to use come straight from video games, even though I can't always trace the source. So all those years of playing games as a kid...totally worth it on more levels than one! ;D

Why did they stop making games like this? Who the hell decided that everything has to be about space marines or war or both these days? There's just no market for happy, friendly pick-up-and-play games with excellent design anymore. The industry is so cynical and hyper-masculine. I guess consumers dictate the market, and that's what gamers want. A shame.

DAMN! If only more Symphonies performed music like this, just imagine, real instruments!? I would pay to see that! (not saying this is bad, just saying with real instruments it be better)
