I have a soft spot for written-for-videogame songs... After fighting Hard/Extreme Shiva in FFXIV, this has become too addictive.
M.U.L.E. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF8kv38SzIM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z48FWWCG4dU LSDudes - Mule
Never played or even heard of M.U.L.E., but hearing the original theme and the band version made me so happy. Love when bands re-do video game themes. Really wish I saw The Black Mages play live.

It never fails to amuse me, in a good way, how much time and effort my friend Rich has put into building devices to play, via the human hand, what was originally designed and composed to be played by machines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E8aQiRUeQk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q4SAm6LnXw Mail Order Monsters / c64 - Fairlight

Three songs. Sorry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2vUbQfFtxs I had Sunny Murray's take on Over the Rainbow in my head and this was the only public posting that I could find.
