Justin: video game music archive - 1600 computer and video game tunes transcribed into the midi format.
justin:
A lot of these are pants to be honest - whoever transcribed some of the tunes (they are not allowed to use software to directly translate roms) totally didn't "get" them. Also, many of the original machines used FM synthesis "chip" music to make their sounds, and that doesn't always come across well on midi. Still good fun through.
justin:
If anyone knows where I can get original game music as mp3 then give me a shout. PS - Listen to Rastan!
Marcus:
I've got the MP3 of the original Secret of Monkey Island music. Listening to it causes instant transportation back to the care-free early 1990s.
justin:
I think the best method for getting specific game music on mp3 is to look for a fansite rather than expect a nicely laid out archive. I found Rastan incidentally.
