I just have to come back to this song/video and say you nailed something incredible here! I have played this sooooo many times....takes me back to 1988..

[@Hyde209]

Thank you 🙏 Yes this track found its way to many PS fans and it opened doors to many cool people around the world. Making music that can transport you back to good times is pretty much my mission 😅👍

This is so awesome I couldn't help but laugh when it first started. I'm imagining a 80s music video with Alis with the big poofy 80s hair slowly stalking around corners of a poorly lit dungeon and then emerging in the desert only to have to fight off some Antlion's in slow mo with the help of her friends.

[@Hyde209]

Wow thanks for the kind words 😃 Yeah this was a fun tune to work on. Since it was a request and I don't really have any personal connection to either the game nor the soundtrack this came out pretty easy

[@Aeroprism]

@@Hyde209 Well, I`m a HUGE Phantasy Star fan and from my perspective, you rendered the community a great service! This series of games is way to overlooked, it needs more love! Thanks so much for giving some even though you just visited! I hope you visit again!!

[@Hyde209]

@@Aeroprism I'm glad you say that 😃 You see I missed the whole SEGA 8bit era. My first introduction to SEGA was with Mega Drive. That beeing said, I do enjoy discovering these old games that I missed out on back in the day. You should check out my other Phantasy Star remix too. It's the Medusa Tower track 😉

[@Soundole]

Cool stuff man, reminds me of the sort of awesome synth tracks coming out of the Sega CD and Saturn :)

[@Hyde209]

Soundole VGM Covers Thanks mate 😃 Unfortunately I've not played those systemes a whole lot, but I take your word for it. It is kinda similar to what little I have heard though 😅

MisterPAL Thanks 😃 Yeah my sentiment exactly 😄

[@-taz-]

Love it! Fresh, high-quality, but still chippy in a very SMS-like way.

[@Hyde209]

-tAz- Thank you 😃 That's what I aim for. Clear connection to the original track, but with clean sounds that could be oerformed live 😊

[@DezorianGuy]

Beautiful. At least we get some of those catchy tracks from indie devs here and there. Back in the days more work was put into the pureness of melody. No fancy orchestra, just tunes and soul. Also love the visual arrangement of your videos. Good choices all the way.

[@Hyde209]

Thank you. Yeah I'm really pleased with how this turned out. I agree. Sure I can appreciate modern soundtracks too, but there is totally something pure and right to the piont with classic VGM. I guess that's why we love it 😅 I also adore the old chip synth sounds of the 80s/90s soo much.

[@tetrisdave]

Very well done! I can't wait to hear what you have in store for the other songs. Thanks!!

[@Hyde209]

Game Sack Dave Thanks Dave 😃 Next up is Rastan, but it's played in a totally different style 😅

[@IllikasRager]

Just putting this out there, calling it an 80s remix despite it being an 80s song to begin with is a little redundant. That said, I love this! Thanks for this.

[@Hyde209]

Yeah I get that. Calling it an 80s remix was more of a clue to the sound of it though 😅

So beautiful, i really like it!

[@danibot3000]

Just the coolest hero's, pictures and music - afterall

[@Triumverent]

Subscribed. Love good remixes to old games. Too many times people just but some crap syth instruments and a techno/trance backbeat and call it a remix. It is refreshing when people keep the spirit of the original tune and find unique voices to augment the tracks. SMS seems like it would be so hard to re-imagine because all the voices were just tinny whistles and chirps. Great, GREAT re-imagining.

[@Hyde209]

Wow thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate you taking your time to write about this to me. I totally agree. Not that it's anything wrong with EDM, but a remix can be within any genre. Personally I'm very into 70s and 80s sounds. I guess that's pretty obvious though ^^

[@GrumpyCat97]

it looks like Alis doesn't wear any panties, her thing under skirt is exposed. the Myau is like: oh shit! Alis cover your thing. seriously is this a official art by sega?

[@Hyde209]

Haha 😅 Yeah that pale yellow color does somewhat look like her skin tone.

[@jasonmalice]

[@Hyde209]

EnormousSmartass Thanks 😃 I'm trying some new things for the intros to keep things fresh 😅 It's a great rpg of the 8-bit era and really groundbreaking for its time. Glad you like the remix bro 😃

[@pixelgoat7317]

I fucking love Phantasy Star; I can totally see an alternate timeline where an 80's as fuck 80's cartoon about the game would air on TV with music like this!

[@torers]

This was the first track that got me introduced to your work. I've become quite a fan of some of your stuff, as well as your more recent Mega Man mixes. The folks back at my burgeoning Phantasy Star discord talk about it semi-frequently and I'm curious if you might want to join!

[@gausstavo3517]

If the phantasm star series was created for the CD and full production in mind. It would have been revolutionary

[@ikagura]

Funny how Phantasy star 1 was made in the 80's. Also +10.000 for the claps

[@Hyde209]

ikagura Indeed. Lots of video game classics were made in the 80s though 😊 Yeah you can't have that typical 80s vibe without synth claps 😄

[@ikagura]

The late 80's to mid-90's was the golden era for the RPG genre! my fav RPGs are Ys and Phantasy star (both made in the same year). And yeah claps is a must have, without them the music would be empty. +1 sub!

[@Hyde209]

ikagura Thank you 😊 Yeah I do play modern/newer games too, but I keep playing these games of the 80s and 90s and feel very connected to them personally. The games of my childhood 😅

[@ikagura]

I can enjoy more modern games (even tho I tend to avoid AAA lately because of some shady way to give more money to the company) I would like to enjoy modern JRPG but I kinda have struggles to appreciate if it's too "anime" (Well reusing cliches itself isn't a problem but it's the way to do it)

[@Hyde209]

ikagura I hear ya. For me it's also a question of time. Modern games tend to demand that you invest tons of time for that imersion. Working and having a family leaves little time to invest in lengthy games 🤔

I’m just wondering if the main melody is a guitar or synth,starting at 0:19 to 0:38 (it also plays throughout the whole song). This remix is pretty fricking amazing and I’m just stunned whenever I hear it, so I wanted to know what it was
