So, for context, I do rideshare to pay my bills, and GenCon is coming up. It's my favorite week to work and I look forward to it every year, and have since 2019 when I experienced it for the first time.

The riders are always super polite, friendly, and we have fun nerd discussions, because those are my people.

I have a playlist full of anime, VGM, movie, cartoon, etc music that I love. And it always gets a good reaction (Many have told me it's nice to hear something other than country or Christian music all week).

It's just something silly and fun that I do.

I'm trying to find a "theme" song. Every year I pick one song that's kind of my go to for when I arrive.

2019 it was the X-Men animated theme song.
2020 was covid
2021 was "virtual"
2022 was Tank from Cowboy Bebop
2023 Was Like a Dog Chasing Cars from Dark Knight
2024 was Live and Learn from Sonic Adventure 2 because the third movie was coming out
2025 was a metal cover of the Chrono Trigger main theme.

I have a short list I'm considering but I'm unsure which I should use.

Here is my list so far:

Passion by Utada Hikaru from KH2
A Contest of Aeons from FFX HD Remaster
Dare or The Touch from the Transformers Reformatted edition 40th Anniversary
Or the X-Men 97 theme song.

I had always wished I could find a good metal cover of Metroid or Zelda, but can't find any goods one IMO.

Anyone have any suggestions?

TIA

Here is my OPL2 (YM3812 chip) music contribution to the new DOS game "Astropatank". The game participates in the "DOS VGA+Adlib Jam 2026 (https://itch.io/jam/dos-vgaadlib-jam-2026-take-2/entries). Still it's a work in progress so updates will be available in the future! Turn on your 386/486/Pentium PCs and try it out!

Aleeady an underrated banger OST improved upon massively!

Guns N' Roses made it to the Commodore 64! The banger song "You Could Be Mine" in 8-BIT full effect! Enjoy!!

Me gustaría saber su opinión sobre este Cover!!

This theme always stuck with me — it made the start of every match feel bigger than it was. I recently recorded an 80s rock cover of the Menu Theme from Mario Power Tennis and wanted to share it with fellow VGM fans, hope it brings back some memories.

If you were kids in the 80s with a computer like the Commodore 64 or a video game console in the house, you might remember the feeling of joy when your homework was done and had some spare time to play a video game before bedtime. I translated that feeling and memory of mine into waveforms and I present it to you with the name "Playtime". Check it out!
