The online video game music remix community known as Pixel Mixers and the gaming music news site GameGrooves have united to produce a one-of-a-kind charity album. HEROES includes 15 remixes of some of the most iconic tunes in all of gaming, in a variety of styles. Properties like Mario, Pokémon, Sonic, Crash Bandicoot, Mega Man, Celeste, Shovel Knight and Undertale are all represented. All proceeds from HEROES benefit Child’s Play Charity, the organization that provides the latest video games and consoles to children’s hospitals for free play by the patients. “As gamers, we know that toys and videogames can be therapeutic, creating enjoyable social experiences and letting our imaginations soar,” says Pixel Mixers producer Julien “Hashel” Rosir. “We at Pixel Mixers believe that Child’s Play Charity is doing important work by bringing smiles to faces, and as our community is centered around videogame music, we thought it would be a great fit to pledge our efforts to such a great cause.” 01.

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest Remastered Soundtrack Now Available

So it’s come to this: a Final Fantasy Mystic Quest cover album. Mystic Quest (called Mystic Quest Legend in Europe) is a vastly simplfied, toned-down RPG that most Square fans dismiss. So while there have been scores of remastered covers for Final Fantasy soundtracks, Mystic Quest has been mostly ignored. Until today. Today is the day the Final Fantasy Mystic Quest Remastered Soundtrack becomes available — and unlike the game, it’s not that bad. The album was created by music arranger Sean Schafianski. “The soundtrack to Final Fantasy Mystic Quest is a cult classic,” he says. “The blend of rock, jazz, and delightfully cheesy synths was probably the best part of the game!” “As with the rest of the Remastered Tracks series, I wanted to stay as true to the original as possible, while still adding in some flair for a modern twist. Performers sometimes took the liberty of a solo here and there, but for the most part, this is the same soundtrack that we all fell in love with.
