Panic Attack (NES)

[Pixel Stick 927]

A couple years ago, I decided to try my hand at a "retro remix" of one of my favorite songs.  This is Dream Theater's "Panic Attack" (which was in Rock Band 2), as played on an 8-bit NES.  Sequenced with FamiTracker.  (And in case you're wondering, this is not just an "NES-style" remix - I have actually played this on real NES hardware, using the RetroZone PowerPak cartridge (it's a CompactFlash card reader that lets you play NES ROMs and .NSF music files on real hardware).

 

 

(Unfortunately, the forum won't let me upload .NSF files.)

Okay, a few things.

 

-Dream Theater is my favourite band ever and inspired me to do music.

 

-This is awesome.

 

-Let me love you.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it.   It was fun to do, and one of a relative few songs that's musically simple enough to actually work on an NES.  I've been thinking about transcribing other songs as well.

Wish you luck, I can't even play most of their songs on my bass, so hard D:
