Xot Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 I got to thinking.... I thought both Combat Rock and Mr. Roboto were very cool ideas, so I got to thinking about perhaps some more hacks with tunes added. A Better Pac-Man with (Duh) Pac-Man Fever Centipede with "Legs" by ZZ Top Star Wars: ESB with the Imperial March Adventure with "It's Hip to Be Square" by Huey Lewis I'm sure y'all can think of dozens more, and I'm sure I will too when I'm not at work...

Paul Slocum Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Hehe. Those are good ideas guys, but I probably won't be doing another music hack for a while. And I've already picked my next song and game for when I do. Right now I'm working on a couple of soundtracks for other homebrews. I actually tried a couple of other ideas before Mr. Roboto that didn't work out because I couldn't find the musical notes I needed: Low Driver (Night Driver playing Low Rider) and Video Pinball Wizard. -Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 oooh! How about just the regular arcade music to Jungle Hunt? The arcade song sounded simple enough.. and the game just seems too quiet swinging from vine to vine in silence (ditto for the 5200 version). And while you're at it change the character graphic back to that Tarzan character and make it the original JUNGLE KING again! Jungle "Hunt" was such a travesty when they had to change it to that crappy Exlporer guy with the hat. ^__^ ..hey a guy can dream right.

Krytol Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Lately the song "Goin' Berzerk" by Buckner and Garcia has been going through my head as I play Berzerk. Berzerk has had the hell hacked out of it though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 ET: "Don't You Want Me" by Human League That's cold... But of course, it should be "Turn On Your Heart-Light". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 This one could apply to Dodge 'Em, Enduro, Pole Position or even Street Racer: "Cars" by Gary Numan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastius Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Why not make a special IO adapter for the 2600 that controls a cd player? That way you can have ingame high quality music and still have NO cpu load. A bit like that Activision classics set for the PS/2. Just hook it up to certain adress/databits and it'd work when someone codes support for it. And it'd be way easier to implement and it MAY make a nice mix between 2600 sounds and CD Music.

moycon Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Why not just pop a CD in the CD player loop the song you want to play. On games that have more than one screen...Advance to the next song. WOOHOO!!! Or just make a special IO adapter for the 2600 that controls a cd player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you can even have scenery music for certain areas in games (if such a thing even exists in 2600 games) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
