Doctor Who Opening Theme - 8 Bit (Gameboy)

A remake of the 7th Doctor's opening theme song remade in 8-bit. I hope you enjoy.
(2021 update) This was done in FamiTracker with the n163 chip because back then i was a little child and didn’t know how to do gameboy stuff
Here's a download link (wav):

Imagine Sylvester McCoy's green face on the GameBoy winking at you.

[@GUNUFofficial]

"Oh god he's out to get me, honey start the car!"

[@pikachucetthesecond4296]

Funny, he didn't have an 8-bit Doctor Who game but he did have a 16-bit one (Dalek Attack)

[@robertwalpole5376]

There would be no greater Earthly pleasure.

[@JeremiahEcks777]

@@pikachucetthesecond4296 And it was a good one!

[@FelixTheNoodle]

"Is that supposed to be a face? I can't tell in this bad lighting!"

[@Lukethefox]

With all the tie-in gameboy games based on Cartoons & movies I'm surprised there was never one based on Doctor Who.

[@CacoQueen]

Unfortunately the show was cancelled just before the game boy came out so there would've been 0 demand by the BBC for one

[@superplushtiman7ti075]

@@CacoQueenand the only planned game of that sorts(mentioned in 1994, cancelled for unknown reasons that same year) would’ve been on the *Mega Drive*

[@SampullMC]

As both a DW fan, and a retro game collector, I believe I am qualified to say that the dictionary definition for "perfection" requires an immediate update.

[@UnchainedEruption]

The background is nicely done. I could believe that (and the theme song) is from a real game of the era.

[@Yukivee]

What? THE DOCTOR is regenerating!

[@googleplusisgone9435]

Yuki Nagato Congratulations! Your DOCTOR regenerated into THE DOCTOR!

[@alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2]

Lol.

[@mannofdober873]

RANDOM GANGER used SHOOT GUN! It was super effective! THE DOCTOR fainted!

[@menslady125eif2590]

What? The Doctor is regenerating! Congratulations! Your Doctor evolved into Paul McGaan!

[@Spectahman2.0]

Hands down best doctor who theme.

[@AverageSouthernMan]

Incredible, I would love to see more maybe try 5s theme next

[@Darth_Vader-yj2bj]

There is a Nintendo DS Game with Doctor Who in it, And It plays the 8-bit version of the 11th Doctors theme

[@lpc_productions]

Imagine a game with this intro. I would die for it. Because yeah, i would probably regenerate

[@arthurchallat8530]

Excellent ♥

[@katie2940]

Three of my favourite things- vinylcheese, gameboy and doctor who!

[@mr.sand7899]

The 14th Doctor's opening sounds awesome.

[@lazychemistry]

Very accurate 😎

[@sslaxx]

Hee, very nicely done take!

[@Szpunar1000]

Sylvester McCoy's theme

[@bleeblequilfus1376]

Tardis used: Emergency Landing. Doctor stepped out of Tardis. Random gang used nonspecific submachine gun fire. It's ail super effective

[@paulbottomley42]

+Bryson Cano Doctor has evolved into Paul McGann!

[@tropican5554]

+Paul Bottomley Doctor has evolved into John Hurt(War Doctor) War Doctor used Save Gallifrey It was super effective Dalek fleet has been destroyed! War Doctor has evolved into Christopher Eccleston(9th Doctor) (I am pretty sure you get where I am going with this)

[@bananamustard1151]

David Tennant used clone nude self Fangirl fainted

[@leorocha4529]

Bryson Cano BU

[@Kryojenix]

Due to the nature of the 7th Doctor theme, this is actually very close to the original! ... Cal Video and Keff McCulloch rock FTW!!

[@LuciferXFallen290]

Kryojenix but this is Sylvester McCoy's theme

[@doctorwars2]

Sylvester McCoy is the 7th doctor

[@OztrumStrikesBack]

When I heard this, I imagined how awesome will be a NES Megaman game that you can play with the Doctor instead of Megaman.

[@UnchainedEruption]

There is a side-scrolling game like that that actually exists, although I don't think you can play as all Doctors, just Troughton, Tom, and Sylvester. You can search it up and find it online, although it's not very good imo.

[@jkreidler5834]

@Stefano Pavone and then the snes remake: War: the moment Takes out all time lords and daleks in radius. 9: torture Tortures a dalek, if in 2 player mode, companion calls you out and stops you, otherwise you kill it. 10: metacrisis Duplicates your character, confuses nearby enemies 11: fezzes are cool Creates a large fez around your character, acts as a shield.

[@TheEmeraldMenOfficial]

Jack Kreidler 12: The Man That Stops The Monsters. Destroys any enemy straight ahead of you, draining sonic power as a result, or plays an electric guitar, causing some enemies to decide to let you live and the others to be stunned.

[@jacobdagun3670]

Well done!

[@TheToymakerReviews]

Absolutely Brilliant! I love it! I would like to see a recreation of the theme without 8 bit :)

[@JDF704TU]

7th doctor was always my favorite

[@memeicusgaming2197]

For a second I thought your profile picture wa a dick

[@GaryNumanfan-uo3nz]

Doctor Who the video game pick your doctor

[@controlleronahanger]

how come this is in vinylcheese's n163 playlist

[@minddrometech6552]

this could have been used in the dr who video games

[@ArrowProds]

Dare I say it, this is better than the actual theme (for 1987 that is)

[@TrentonBlessWrestlemania489]

Do you think you could do any other versions of the Doctor Who theme like this? For example, the Glynn Theme (1986)?

[@SwissVinyl]

+Trenton Bless (Wrestlemania489) I suppose I could. I'll maybe mess with some stuff later.

[@TrentonBlessWrestlemania489]

TheVinylCheese Alright.

[@bigbadbarry6715]

This theme is strangely sad

[@acefilms1992]

I would love for this game to be real, I imagine it would probably just be a dalek attack port though.

70th comment for 7th Doctor

[@LumitheHedgehog]

Ooooh GTARDIS came for a emergency landing cause:too much coolness

[@empressfrozentoes5285]

Choose your class: Grumpy old man Cosmic Hobo Neutron Flow Reverser Scarves and Gummies Celery. It's good. Man who didn't know what to wear for Halloween, so he wore everything. ??? These *_SHOES_*! The only soldier type character. Mr. Fantastic Skinny with Sandshoes Bowties are cool. My *_SPOON_*. The only doctor to exist because the SJWs require it for life support.

[@the_openers_of_eyes8]

this is so accurate, can we hit 50 likes?!

[@metalmugen]

McCoy's class could be Sinister Chessmaster or something like that

[@MatthewsStopMotions]

Ur not funny

[@davepax982]

It really doesn't sound that much different!

[@CamKablam]

Am I allowed to use this in a video? I'll give credit.

[@ABMultimediaDesigner]

how did you make this into 8-bit??!?!?

[@SwissVinyl]

I used an 8-bit music program called "FamiTracker".

[@ABMultimediaDesigner]

but couldnt u use that for MIDI files? Tutorials on how to use FamiTracker?

[@SwissVinyl]

If you're asking if it's compatible with midi files, barely. It has the option, but it doesn't work properly. I don't know of any good Famitracker tutorials, though. Sorry.

[@Porygonal64]

Ashleybradbury Surprisingly, if you need help with Famitracker, look for Danooct1. You know, the virus guy? Yeah, he has great Famitracker videos.

[@TARDISFanMan]

Mind if I nab this for a fan-made 7th Doctor intro?

[@SwissVinyl]

Sure. I will put a download link in the description.

[@papaakachala9099]

ThePotatoWhisperer i can realy use this theme for my minecraft doctor who adventures! Thanks!

[@leorocha4529]

👾👾👾

[@UnchainedEruption]

Tempo feels a little too fast, but otherwise really good!

[@Nicholas_Steel]

Any chance of a link to the NSF?

[@messytexy]

What?

[@Nicholas_Steel]

@@messytexyIt's the file format used for NES audio dumps, I realize the title says Gameboy but the description says he made it in Famitracker which is for making NES audio. The NSF is basically the Source file and will seamlessly loop while consuming vastly less storage space than a WAV file.

[@lucashoffmannn]

Thats nice, eh? VRC6, mate?

[@SwissVinyl]

I believe it was single-channel N163.

[@lucashoffmannn]

TheVinylCheese lol Thats too good for only 4 channels (excluding DPCM).I tried to make some kind of remix in VRC6, but it was completly awful. Take a look clyp.it/imwzbiod

[@SteamBloodSB]

Can I use this music. (Game theme song)

[@neonninja89]

was this from an actual game if witch one

[@SwissVinyl]

Nah, I made it using Famitracker.

[@neonninja89]

if it was i would bought it they need more doctor who games

[@MondySpartan]

Please do one based on the 2014 theme :)

[@mediocremanlp6251]

moar plz
