Golden Reprise

Sometimes you encounter a confluence of concepts that feels custom-tailored for your enjoyment. Such as your obsession of the last decade crosing over with the first video game you ever owned.

Just wanted to share this.

And meanwhile, the first game I remember beating was the original Super Mario Land. I could have sworn you were older than I am...

Okay, this is pretty great. I'm a sucker for good chiptunes.

Wow, okay, there is NO WAY this is a coincidence. Is there? How likely is it for two people to independently write very similar melodies?

Oh, it's a deliberate rendition of "Road to Friendship" using the 6 Golden Coins soundfont. Rendering one or more songs using video game tracks is SiIvaGunner's whole thing.

Ah, okay. The video title had me confused.

I keep expecting a Thank you for Playing message to come on screen at the end of a multi-hour gaming session to beat the final boss I've been stuck on for weeks.

That's when you know the chiptune's good.

Oh wow. The memories...

I inherited this game with one of my older brothers' Game Boys. It was also the first video game I ever "owned" as well. Those bits at 0:01 and 0:27 really trip me up because I can still hear the original tune and the divergence that follows immediately afterwards makes my brain record-scratch.

I’m always amazed at just how much talent Siivagunner puts into these jokes high-quality rips
