I made an 8-bit remix of the After School Special music in Famitracker. I have provided links for listening to it in video form or in-game. I hope you like it!

On another note, since this technically counts as something I actually made as opposed to something I just looped, I wasn't entirely sure where to post this. I eventually settled on posting here, obviously. Is there a forum section for fan labor or something? Should I make another thread there?

I like it. I think it would be much improved with a stronger bass.

This is actually pretty cool. Nicely done!

That's actually surprisingly good, nice job.

Weak bass is an unfortunate side-effect of the NES's sound chip. The triangle wave, which is usually used for the bass, has only two volumes: on or off. It's not so bad if you wear headphones, though.

Nice. Finally a 8-bit downgrade that doesn't sound like someone just made the quality bad.

-an 8-bit downgrade-

It is never a downgrade.

Well done.

Not Bad, Not good ether.

Nice job.

Found a bug.
When the two (original and 8 bit) are played together, they de-sync over time.

I recommend watching in HD and using headphones.

That's a problem with Blocklands music player, not the song. It happens to all songs.

I'm aware of this. I didn't make the 8-bit version's tempo exactly the same as the original's because it isn't a perfectly round number (somewhere between 100 and 101 beats per minute), so of course they're going to desync.

So, has all that was to be said really already been said? That's kind of disappointing.

Now I will make a blockland arcade game WITHIN blockland

with this song!
