#346: Astrosmash: "Ssssnakes (demo)"
Comp: pax 24
Genre: video game remix

If you're anything like me (and really, who is?) you had an Intellivision video game system when you were growing up, and played SNAFU on it a lot. This was a game where you had two different gameplay modes - in one, your snake left a solid trail behind it, if you hit anyone's trail you'd die. You wanted to be the last snake snaking. In the other you wriggled around, trying to bite the other guys' tails. Again, last snake snaking. It was awesome. And it had some of the most catchy, awesome music in it. This band, Astrosmash, decided to take a bunch of the old Intellivision game songs and make new music and remixes with them. Check it out, it was a little hard to find this track, but it's on Soundclick! In the track you hear the snake sound effects from first type then the second, and the excellent music from the original. The drums and suchlike were added by Astrosmash (that, by the way, was another great Intellivision game). Ooh, this one takes me back. I should try to get an Intellivision, my parents have mine :)
I wonder if you can actually buy these CDs anywhere...
