As a practice project for my first Twitch streams, I rebuilt the Overworld theme from the wonderful NES game Legacy of the Wizard in hardware accurate Game Boy chiptune, using Furnace.

With a ton of help from the excellent sheet music transcription by Wraize78, I tried to replicate the original song very closely, but added a bit of stereo panning (which the original NES couldn't do for technical reasons, but it is supported in Game Boy). I also made very small changes to the drum beat, just for fun. But otherwise this is the closest impersonation job I've ever done. Hope you enjoy!

Made live on Twitch (well, mostly at least). Follow me here: https://www.twitch.tv/sevencastleforest

Original song by Mieko Ishikawa and Yuzo Koshiro, for Nihon Falcoom.
