Track and Field II - Opening Ceremony Theme (COVER)
90Track & Field II - Opening Ceremony Theme
This game is infused with my childhood. (English is my second language so I don't even know if you can say that but plainly speaking; this game has been a huge part of my childhood.) We even had a little notebook back home where we wrote down all the records, well I wrote down one record one time, but it was supposed to be the 'record book'.
Anyway, this game tested your sanity. Come to think about it, it probably drove us all insane actually. I mean take the 'Olympic mode'... Fencing was easy, triple jump; piece of cake! But then came the swimming event... It was near impossible to finish in time to qualify for the next round. So GAME OVER; turn off the game and try it the next day! Repeat the same process; beat the fencing stage like it's none of your business, same with the triple jump event, and then cometh the swimming event: Bye-bye! "Einstein called, you're doing the same thing over and over expecting different results: you're insane, dude. INSANE!"
So when recording this extremely HD-quality, glitch-less footage, I took the opportunity to cheat my way through the game. (That horizontal bar event is rigged btw, it's based on turbo buttons and extreme luck.) After not much sweat nor tears, I beat the game of my childhood. I cried for the first time in forever. But it wasn't because of the game, I had ordered a really hot chili, I mean like STUPID hot, which made my tear canals overflow like crazy. But beating the game felt nice, but going to the bathroom that same evening did not.
In conclusion, I hope you enjoy my cover of the Opening Ceremony theme! I was planning on releasing it in time with the real Olympic games in Japan this year, but that's not gonna happen is it...
