Old Games, New Sound: Shinobi 3

[Jedah Doma]

I just saw this on Youtube and loved it. It's a show that takes old games and puts new sound to them (sound effects and music). The first game featured is Shinobi 3. If only this could be done in the actual game.

All of that could be done with a Genesis and SNES. The SNES did it with one game remaining the fact the file size is limited. However the problem is storage. You can do this and run from a emulator.

That's basically why I fell in love w/ the Roland Sound Canvas back in 2006.

Playing thru all my 90's PC games with PROPER music reproduction (vs chitty FM synth, i.e. Creative SB16) = heaven on a speaker.

Here's the same song run thru two different sound cards.

Roland Sound Canvas (Wavetable): http://alag3.mfa.kfki.hu/dcsabas/hi-fi/scd-55.mp3

And the great thing is, ya just gotta switch out the cards and settings and your golden on a majority of the games (a few are wonky and need special patches and stuff)

well it's kind of cool but they just replaced Yuzo's awesome soundtrack. this is like replacing Judy Garland's version of "somewhere over the rainbow" with marilyn manson's faux gothic version.
