I hope it's okay for me to make a late entry. I'll be attempting Lunatic. I've been good with game music before so hopefully it won't be too crazy for me. Also if I screw up the text links then hopefully I can fix it fast!

I realized today that I thought it was the 8th, so I went more overboard than I thought with entries.

I'm almost wondering if I don't want to build a higher difficulty level for myself, thinking of ideas, maybe I'll try that in days to come.

I had some ideas for how to intensify the challenge, but instead I'm just going to do as second lunatic chart since it seems I was late to doing it last year (or whenever the last one was), as long as people are okay with me monopolizing two posts in this thread. I'll trouble myself further to not use any repeat series across both lists.

 Day 1 - Title Screen

DuckTales (NES) - The Moon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF32DRg9opA

Day 12 - Awful/Hated Music

Extreme Paintbrawl - Song 1

or what happens when you slam every key on a synth

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw5Ya2IdDKU

Just imagine listening to this and saying "okay, ship it"

Day 13 - Sports Game

This game single-handedly made Sega 3D Classics Vol. 2 worth owning. The other games were a nice bonus though.

Day 19 - DOOM 2 - Waiting for Romero to Play

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnzRBZd5_uA

(very clearly matching the beginning of "This Love" by Pantera)

Day 20 - Space Harrier - Main Theme

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_Tam9lv1KQ

I had trouble thinking of a Sega song that I hadn't already used or was planning on using from a series later. I really wanted to use Night Flight from OutRun2, but it I found out technically that wasn't sega-exclusive for a year (Xbox got its port 10 months later) 😞

Day 4) Final Fantasy VII Remake - Battle Theme -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o_PBYrUNcY  I haven't actually played this one, but I hear this tune a lot

I really loved the remake's approach to the battle themes of the original game, which only had one same track for every random fight in the game, one reoccuring boss theme, and then a couple of unique one for extra special bosses.

In Remake almost every fight has its own track, including a whole bunch for the "random" encounters, and most of them are new arrangements based on the same repeating motifs from the original tunes of the classic.
It really is a fantastic way to employ familiar music that's already recognized to be great, while avoiding repetition, and giving every moment in the game its own unique identity.

It's really incredible how much work was put into that game.

This was tough today because I don't actually know that many remixes. I usually don't listen to them. I guess next time I will look up more OCRemix pages.

There are so many of them, though. Outside of S.S.H. there are plenty of Youtubers and bands making covers of these old songs, like FamilyJules, Powerglove, Smooth McGroove, Gamer Shredding etc.

Then there are plenty of orchestral remakes of older music. Especially Squareenix has done a lot with these, but other companies, too, e.g. see Final Fantasy Distant Worlds. There's even a symphonic suite for Actraiser! Just a bit of searching and you'll find a lot.

Nobuo Uematsu also had private bands such as The Black Mages or the Earthbound Papas. Or see TPR who released entire albums with melancholic music from games such as Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy VI or Chrono Trigger. I could probably go on, but this is what I remember off the top of my hat.

Oh yeah, I guess those do count, don't they? I just don't think about them I guess. They exist, but I forget they do. Strange as I've listened to enough of the SSH concerts to think you'd remember them...ah well, I made it through this time. Maybe next time.

Worked ahead a bit before the weekend.  Great stuff so far, everyone.  I've been listening to as much as I can and I am just blown away by all the awesomeness.  Day 31 is going to be tough.  Keep it up!

Yeah, Day 31 is always tough, judging by my experience last time. Always love hearing people's tastes in music though!
