Late last year, musician RushJet1 released an incredible “cover playthrough” for Mega Man 3, rearranging the game’s original soundtrack with added stereo and VR6C effects. Now he plans to do so with the original Mega Man. Every week RushJet1 will add a new level theme, which will hopefully culminate in an album release like before. […]

I really do love chiptune music myself and I definitely got into some […]
