If you haven’t played Cave Story (also known as Doukutsu Monogatari), you need to take some time and play it, right now. This free retro-revival game is a platformer to save all platformers, a charming and challenging game with extensive weapons and a wonderful soundtrack.
Below is a medley of the entire soundtrack arrange for piano by Sebastian Wolff.
Download the game for free, right here.
I’ll admit, I had heard of The Wily Wars but I had never played it, in fact I had no idea what it was. Turns out The Wily Wars was a game for the Sega Mega Drive (aka Genesis) in 1994 that comprised of ported versions of MegaMan 1, 2 and 3, originally for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
What’s totally rad about this game, is all the music is re-done to play on Sega’s hardware. What that means for turbo geeks out there, if you’re into that crunch, crisp, punchy FM Synth sound, the Soundtrack for The Wily Wars has remakes of all of the MegaMan music from the first three games. Some are better than others, and some total kick ass.
The MegaMan Network has the soundtrack up as a free download! totally awesome!
And you know I had to post the CUTMAN theme >B] [audio: rm1-03-cutmanstage.mp3]

A buddy just turned me on to KeygenJukebox, a streaming music site that hosts ton of totally rad chiptune music from keygenerators. If you’ve never used a KeyGen before, then you probably have been missing out on hours of obscure chiptunes buried deep within the depths of the internet. Enjoy.
