Psycho Soldier was an Arcade game released around 1987 by SNK, and was the initial debut of KoF veterans, Athena Asamiya (the descendant of Princess Athena from SNK's Athena Arcade Game), and her sidekick, Sei Kensou. It was a 2-D Shooter/Platformer game where you must defeat a great evil that has devastated most of the Earth.

It's major hook at the time was that it was the first Video Game to incorporate a "vocal" soundtrack into the gameplay. It's theme song was, of course, "Psycho Soldier", and was even (unfortunately) dubbed into English for English speaking territories. xP

I decided to go ahead and take a shot at making an NES-styled version of the song as Psycho Soldier was never ported to the NES/Famicom. I tried what I could to make it sound a little different than my usual NES songs, and I think I did a good job for the most part.

Anyhow, that is all. :)

Athena and the Psycho Soldiers game belongs to SNK Playmore
