8-Bit Myst Theme Intro

The intro theme to the classic PC game Myst, redone in 8-bit NES style, synced to the original intro movie!

8-bit music created by me, and the video was ripped, edited and synced to the music by GermanShepherd, http://www.youtube.com/GermanShepherd0 (though honestly, he spent more time creating the video than I did making the music)

Here's a video that shows how the video itself was compiled from the original, and it plays the original theme and the 8-bit theme at the same time for comparison: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=af00p8P92-M



Creation Details:
- I used Cubase SX 3 to recreate the music. To create the NES sounds, I used the VST plugins SYNTENDO, Triforce (by Tweakbench), and NES VST (google 'em :D)
- The video was created with Adobe After Effects CS4, and the video was extracted from the original Windows 95 version of Myst using Riveal, http://homepage.mac.com/rshayter/Riveal.html

Myst and all related properties, including the intro video and the original theme, are copyright Cyan Worlds, Inc.

This is beyond awesome and deserves to have it's views multiplied by a factor of over 9000. One of the greatest things I've seen on youtube, ever.

There's a bug for the original MYST fly-by. Notice @ 1:21 that the huge gears are open, as if someone's already been to the island before the player. When you link through, though, THEY'RE CLOSED! O.o

It really sounds creepy in 8-bit.

@crudface IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!

I love that little crash when the book lands.

Do you still have the .WAV file, and maybe could convert it to a .MID file? :P.
