Chiptune artist Moldilox released a pair of songs last month for a videogame that never existed.
The two tunes, composed with the program MilkyTracker, are meant to be lost songs from the soundtrack to a NES game called Fourteen – a cart based on a bizarre manga of the same name by Kazuo Umezu.
The manga does indeed exist. Sadly, we are not fortunate enough to live in a universe where there was an 8-bit videogame that told the story of a vat-grown chicken man that becomes self-aware, frees himself from the futuristic biolab where he was born and helps the mutated animals of the world wreak their revenge on mankind.
We are lucky enough, though, to live in a universe where people are crazy enough to pretend that it happened and want to share with us how such a game would sound.
This isn’t Moldilox’s first foray into faux game soundtracks with real anime influence. Last year Moldilox (that bio can’t possibly be true) released an entire chiptune soundtrack to a non-existent game based on Umezu’s freaky manga The Drifting Classroom.
Hat tip to Marc Weidenbaum of the Disquiet blog for pointing this weirdness out.
