61 Frames Per Second has a cool weekly column that I’m tempted to steal, Alternate Soundtrack, which replaces a classic game’s tunes with songs from an unrelated band.

In the above video’s case, PC Engine shooter Ai Cho Aniki has been further beefed up with music supplied by indie group Xiu Xiu, with pleasing results.

I don’t think a similar column would be successful here, as I’d likely substitute soundtracks with whatever song I was listening to when I first played the title back in the day. Basically, the audio portion of every featured game would consist of Warren G and Nate Dogg’s “Regulate.”
