^ One case where the remastered edition is very much worth it. Some speed changes were finally corrected, and such.

I still haven't beat it. Stuck on the Shadow Queen for about two and a half years. It's a masterpiece of a game, but it's easy throughout the entire thing and then it gets crazy hard at the last level.

I LOVED the original Paper Mario. A game I sailed through but still really enjoyed because it was just so lovely and fun. Haven't played the subsequent games but only because I never owned their systems. Will probably be emulating them before long.

Oh man, these are great. It seems there's a Windows program you can make these in simply by dropping a midi file in. I know where to get a very good midi file of a Cardiacs song which would be perfect for this kind of treatment but I'm on a mac. Wah!

That 8 bit Red is genuinely awesome. Let's have an 8 bit Octavarium.

That version of Red is hilarious, yet awesome. Somebody should produce King Crimson: the video game.
Myself, the only video game music I've ever really enjoyed is Sewart Copeland's soundtrack to the original Spyro the Dragon.

It's interesting to note that Koji Kondo (composer of a lot of the Mario and Zelda music) is actually a proggy and credits Genesis and ELP as influences.
Someone here pointed out before that Zelda's Lullyby sounds slightly similar to Hands of the Priestess Part 1 off of Voyage Of The Acolyte. It may just be a coincidence but the first few notes are quite uncanny.

8-bit Close to the Edge, sounds awesome. There's a lot of 8-bit prog there.

I noticed when I bought the Wii edition of `Tetris Party' that the majority of the selectable in-game soundtracks were all very proggy! Very pleasantly surprised!
I also was playing Ozric Tentacles `Waterfall Cities' at work a while back, and someone asked `Are you listening to video game music?' lol! |

Speaking of Gentle Giant, there's one piece of music in Chrono Trigger that sounds *very* similar to "Talybont" from Free Hand, I think.
