There's a hardcore Nintendo player who kinda sorta dabbles in guitar by the name of Vertexguy, who also dabbles in graphics. Ok, so he totally kicks ass and is a beast on the strings. Check out these three intense rock and roll renditions of video games we all know and love! I've added some notes from his site about the performances below:
ONE MAN CONTRABAND [via Kotaku]
This is my rendition of the Contra jungle theme on guitar. The classic nintendo (NES) game had some killer music scores so I took it upon ... all » myself to take them out of the 8-bit realm. All tracks, including the backing were played by me. Hope you all like it :) (um, yeah dude this is a masterpiece - dt)
DOUBLE DRAGON [via the google video next button]
" This is my rendition of the Double Dragon Mission 1 theme on guitar. This is yet another classic nintendo (NES) game with some killer music ... all » scores. All tracks, including the backing were played by me. Hope you all like it"
DUKE NUKEM [via common sense to keep going]
"This is my rendition on guitar of the Duke Nukem theme song. I used influences from the Megadeth version, the original, and my own twists ... all » to come up with the final composition. All tracks, including the backing were played by me. Hope you all like it :)"
Vertexman, we hope you make more :) :) :) Check out his site for his MP3's of video games like UN Squadron and Metroid.
