How can you have Airworlf but not KNIGHT RIDER? I wanna hear 8bit Knight Rider… the Acclaim cart for NES didn’t even have the real theme (whereas the Turbo Grafix 16 version for Japan did).

I generally tried to stay away from themes that were already made into NES games, with a few exceptions. I also wanted to vary the types of shows so there would be something for everyone.

Is this available yet?

I’m also interested

PLEASE please please do the america’s funniest home videos theme!

I think it is a great idea that seems to have been put on the back burner for some reason. I would really like to see it released.

@MarkZ, Jaimie Martin, Steve RObinson and JohnD – This has been finished for awhile but the album art is on hold. My trusty illustrator is swapped with other projects that actually pay, haha. I’m hoping to get it out as soon as possible but there may be a bunch of legal issues to look into as well so it could be awhile yet.

yooooooooooooooooooo add me on myspace dj such-n-such

I have some more tracks and push-start screens I want you, Octoroc, to throw in and try out:

> Doogie Howser, M.D.
> The Wonder Years (Joe Cocker – With a Little Help From My Friends)
> The A-Team
> Press Your Luck
> Super Password
> The Young and the Restless
> Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
> Card Sharks (80’s)
> Garfield and Friends

There may be a few other themes from the 70’s and 80’s we remember.

@Steve – I have done the A-Team theme, but I’m up to 33 tracks already, so the rest might have to wait for a sequal album

Oh, you must do He-Man and the Masters of the universe.
Denver The last dinosaur had a really catchy tune as well.
Inspector Gadget really reminds me of the 80s.

This is going to be epic!

He-Man is on the album
