I'll just try to make something that sounds a little bit like a mix between something by Capcom and Konami combined with a bit of my own spin on it and hope that it turns out good .

I think that it's important to make things sound reasonably close to a retro console with whatever you're using especially in a theme such as this where the inspiration for the theme itself is so iconic and classic. Then again, it is up to the composer to determine how they want to interpret the theme. Still, I wouldn't advise fake bit dance music for this one . At the same time, if you can take a program with a daw and emulate a classic sound with just a touch of modern flare I don't see anything wrong with it as long as it isn't overboard. Look at the games that inspire the theme, and then try to compose accordingly .I mean you can pretty much use whatever you want, but think carefully about the theme in question .

Thanks guys !

It was a backhanded complement to 2players winning streak . Implying that even though I liked the idea of the winner picking the theme, that 2Player is so good at this that I may not be able to have one of my themes picked for quite some time because he is a brilliant bastard . In other words, if we are going to use that method 2player better get ready to make some themes! Ha ha.Or there is the obvious solution of you know...me trying harder . I didn't mean it as an insult at all lol. In fact, I just thought of the idea  of winner picks theme so that if people want their ideas picked they have to work for it . But, whoever picks the theme I'm sure it'll be awesome considering all of us are intelligent imaginative people. After all, it takes some brains to make a good chiptune .

Oh wow, ok I am way late to the party on this one . I have free time, but knowing me I'm best as a support guy and not much of a "leader" type, I'm all for 8 bit rex taking over both compos. I seem to be best suited for supporting and spreading the word about something I am pumped about while others run the technical side of things. I have a good imagination for themes and such, and I can gather support for more members but I am so not a technical computer/web wizard. I'm honored he picked me, but I think it makes more sense to have 8 bit rex coordinate things. Feel free to pick my brain for theme ideas, and as always I'll try and bring in more talented folks from different corners of the web to join us .On the other hand,  I did run a compo a few years back as a side project to another site. In that compo the stories were highly detailed and you had a month to compose LOL. Another difference was that whoever won the last compo had the option to write the theme idea for the next one, which gave a small incentive to winning it LOL. It was like, if you want everyone to try your story next, you've gotta try your best to grab first in the current compo ha ha.

Nice work everybody! Looks like we got 6 songs in. I love hearing all the different interpretations of a setting. It's rad .
