Goldfish – We Come Together

This is a little out of the ordinary for a blog post, but this track from Goldfish is jammed with retro games scattered with chiptune. Great tune with lots of bass… well ‘All Your Bass’ in fact! Anyway, a great track with an amazing video. Check it. Now. Or I’ll call the Jazz Police.

I’m sure there will be more, but I managed to spot Elevator Action, Pitfall, QBert, Excitebike, Bubble Bobble, Streetfighter 2, Pacman, Donkey Kong, Duckhunt, Bomberman, Sonic plus a sly Ninja Turtle.

There were also a couple of nods to newer games, such as Lego Star Wars, Katamari and Angry Birds. Oh, and The Orange Box

Insert coin ’09

Well, it’s taken me a few days to get around to posting about the show. All in all it was a great success. Alan, Grant and their team did a great job in getting all the machines together. On the day (well, the day before) it seemed everything was against them and the show was almost a non-starter. All of the Egrets were stuck at customs and after being released late on the Friday afternoon, half of them reached their destination at about 9 o’clock at night. The rest of them were due in at 6am Saturday! When we arrived at 11pm on Friday to set up, the electrician was setting up the supply for the hall whilst PCBs were installed in the machines. It was an all-nighter for most of the IC’09 team.
