IDK the song but it does not get more epic than your father crafting a music box of video game music.
@treefroggy#25783 it's this:

The Advantage are still my favorite. They had a gift of turning NES tracks into rock songs while still evoking the chip tune sound.

Insaneintherain does some pretty good video game jazz covers.

And here‘s another pretty great mariachi cover of Vega’s Theme from Street Fighter, from “Mariachi Entertainment System”

@Chekhonte#26082 My favorite too–its like if the four NES sound channels were replaced with math rock nerds. I posted a couple live performances over in the cool cover songs thread!
@kory#26770 dang I‘ve never heard it described that way but you’re right! love that they covered the metal gear NES theme way back when no one else was. it‘s still under played. Yeah, they’re the OG‘s. back then before electric guitar coverse became tiresome for me they were making stuff that would stand the test of time!
…. But the king of acoustic back then was probably that one-man-band playing paper mario title theme that I still haven’t been able to find since the early two thousands….
@Jaffe#26584 MES is literally the best ever and I probably shouldn't see them IRL because I wouldn't be able to stop crying
@kory#26770 oh yes! I I need to check those out.
Kind of cheating since it‘s just an alternate arrangement of an already acoustic tune, but man, I’m not embarrassed to admit this song still gives me goosebumps.

@Gaagaagiins#26865 nah not cheating this is exactly what I‘m talmbout. Don’t care if it was acoustic or not to begin with as long as it‘s acoustic when it’s smacking my ear drums.
@treefroggy#26918 Then hell yeah. I make a point of only mentioning it and making it relevant for things of a similar level of importance, but as someone with a Masters in Music Composition, I can definitively say this is a really, really nice arrangement! More decadent than the original, but skillfully handled.
