Absolutely must-see, and have the sound on. Thanks to unclelumpy.

You're welcome.

The only tune I don't recognise was the second one. I think it's one of those obscure games like "Gyromite" or "Wrecking Crew".

I've been trying to place the second and third tunes for awhile.

Here are the ones I recognize:
Super Mario Bros. Main Theme
Super Mario Bros. Invincibility
Tetris
Mortal Kombat
Super Mario Bros. Underground Theme
Legend of Zelda

Amazingly good.

And actually, something hilarious. Right click it if you are running windows, and tell it to run 'Fast'.

.... Heh. :D

If Rachel were here, she'd probably point out that that's the Chorallaries of MIT, but I'm just guessing. :)

I love my alma mater

Actually, I can't *prove* that those are The Chorallaries of MIT, but it sure looks like something they would do. I'll email them tonight when I get home and see if they recognize it. This could have been from their Spring Break tour, or one of their earlier tours.

But thanks for pointing it out! :)

It's the theme to Dr. Mario.

Nope...

Actually, it's (they're) Redefined, from the University of Wisconsin. First appearance of them on my Fiends list was here (April 15th).

Awesome, but I am really bummed they didn't do the Mario swimming theme. That's my favorite of the series, unless you count Donkey Kong, in which case the main theme to Donkey Kong Country is my favorite video game theme of all time.

Speaking of video game themes, I just wrote a NetHack filk, ttto "Pepper" by the Butthole Surfers. Unfortunately I can't find a MIDI for a backing track.

Did anyone else notice a similarity to "Interjections"?

Means nothing to me, I'm afraid, but I haven't really played video games since I boxed up my Atari 2600...
