      I was just wondering, since the project is backed, when I'll be able to download the Forever Famicom Album as I Pledged $10. Maybe I just missed the download link somewhere...

      For the NES-talgia package, i would like the Castlevania 2 - bloody tears theme. if that is to hard to sample, try blades of steel - game start theme.

      congrats on meeting your goal.

      That's what I'm talking about. It's insane how us fans can show love back to Team Forever Famicom for all your hard work. Lucky to be the last one to to make the "NES-talgia" package and I know I'm down for some Bad Dudes stage 2 from the NES. Keep up the good work and I wonder how much more money you guys are going to rake in with 26 days left. Amazing.

      Mega Ran on September 2, 2010

      W00T! I love you guys from the bottom of my heart. As promised, here's track 2, an unreleased gem from Mr. Murdock... in his own words:

      "This is a cover of De La's classic (Breakadawn, which features a sample from Michael Jackson's "I Can't Help it" ) which i did last fall for a tribute project that never came out. I call it K-Murdock's Quiet Storm Remix as my late uncle used to use the sample in it as the theme for the quiet storm show he created in the late 70s... so its a pretty special track for me."

      download it, own it, love it..

      Wow. I mean... amazing. Not even three whole days, and you guys did it. But HEY! DON'T THINK WE'RE DONE JUST YET! Lots of videos coming in the month of September, LOTS of prizes to still give away. And don't forget, even after all the other prizes are tapped, 50 dollars or better gets your name in the ending credits for Forever Famicom : The Movie. I mean, c'mon? Who DOESN'T want to be immortalized in one of the biggest indie music/movie releases of the year?
