A Few Notes of Elton John in Mega Man 2's Soundtrack

Owen Good — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 19:00:00 EDT

Reader Andrew G. has, since he was six, always thought that the theme for Dr. Wily's Castle from Mega Man 2 sounded like Elton John's "I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That." Both were released in 1988. More »

The World of Mariocraft

Mike Fahey — Fri, 09 Feb 2007 10:20:37 EST

One upside to the ease of levelling in World of Warcraft is that players get bored and create things like this Super Mario homage that mashes up the most popular game of then with one of the most popular games of now. More »

Zelda/South Park Mash Up

fdemarco — Sat, 16 Dec 2006 21:00:54 EST

Wow. I don't even know what to say after watching this one. It's in turns terrifying, disgusting and downright hilarious. This goes beyond the normal mash up, this is like a mash up on acid. A semi-pornographic Zelda parody done in South Park animation style using the voice tracks from the Zelda cartoon. And to top it all off , it shows the original cartoon the voices come from in the lower left corner. Amazing job by Robotbling! I'm speechless... Flynn De Marco More »

Guild Wars, IDDQD and a BFG

brownlee — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 12:40:48 EDT

A surprisingly well done mash-up of Doom and Guild Wars shows how the God features for the Dervish class will work. Needs more gibs and no two minutes video should ever require half its length to accommodate the end credits. Florian Eckhardt More »

Cowboy Bebop Vice City

Brian Ashcraft — Fri, 07 Jul 2006 10:22:36 EDT

Manga, anime and PS2 game Cowboy Bebop dubbed with dialogue and music from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Everything syncs up perfectly as if were a real movie! Like, I'd actually watch 90 minutes of this. Brian Ashcraft More »

Super Link Bros. Isn't Super Irritating

Brian Ashcraft — Thu, 06 Jul 2006 09:22:54 EDT

Super Mario Bros. seems to be the default setting for hackers looking to mash games. This clever Legend of Zelda hack actually does a good job of blending Mario and Link's universe in an non-annoying way. That's what these mash-ups are becoming, you know. Brian Ashcraft More »

Map Mash-Ups, Dragons Stampede Earth

lsmith — Mon, 30 Jan 2006 10:40:15 EST

It's not Jay-Z meets Weezer mash-up, but Ogle Earth points at a way to mash images from games together. The tech at OGLE (OpenGLExtractor) "observes the data flowing between 3D applications and the system's OpenGL library, and recording that data in a standard 3D file format." Basically, the tech allows 3D images from different sources to be formatted the same and then, integrated with each other. To continue with the mash-up reference in the first line, it'd be like modulating the key a song was in, so that it'd work alongside another song. Or something. More »

Atari 2600 + Xbox 360 = Atari 3600

Brian Ashcraft — Mon, 19 Dec 2005 14:22:53 EST

Modder Seth Fogie took his Xbox 360 and stuffed it inside an Atari 2600 shell. In a detailed how-to, he lays out the process step-by-step. As cool as his mash-up is, I just wonder why he choose an Atari 2600 — a system that was eventually overshadowed by the NES. Is this some sort of biting console commentary? Probably not. More »

Sonic Speaks with a Heavy British Accent

Brian Ashcraft — Fri, 16 Dec 2005 16:20:26 EST

Thing about mash-ups is some of them work beautifully, while some of them suck gorilla butt. Who'd thought 80's Brit TV claymation The Trap Door would peanut butter and jelly so well with the Sonic X cartoon? Brownie points to anyone who can mash Sonic's audio track with The Trap Door. Now, that I'd like to see. More »
