| You can sign me up for a chiptune / game set. I've done a bunch of Mega Man mixes in the past, been exactly 2 years since my last chiptune set, and I have been itching to do a new mix... bought a ton of game music on vinyl within that timeframe and this'll finally give me the push I need to do it. |

Well, if the Video Game category doesn't win the straw poll, you have to do whatever does win.
Or not, it doesn't matter really. |

That wasn't the idea, though, was it? The idea was to make a mix with music that wasn't made for a video game but still sounds like it would be a good fit for a video game soundtrack. |

I guess it was open to interpretation. My original idea mentioned making a soundtrack that would fit the game that you designed, of any game or music genre. As long as it was cohesive enough to believe it was all from one video game, I don't see why a chiptune mix wouldn't meet the challenge requirements. |

| I've voted for my own idea. Obviously. I'll be in if it comes out on top. I feel video game soundtrack is too close to past mixes I've done, and Top 40 remixes is far too limited. |

| Refuge could easily make a 6 hour chiptune mix. I bet Luke and I would be the only listeners :p |

I'm in! Can I do a 6 hour mix of old videogame music? ;)
I'll actually be hosting a "Videogame Name That Tune" panel at a local (and rapidly growing) retro game expo this August so I have a lot of that... |

Seriously though, I don't see why not. I think Jack's original intention was that you are headlining some sort of show or event and playing all (or most of the) night, so I'm sure you could easily justify that. I don't think it's specific to a prog-only rooftop party or something. Jack, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. |
