w00t! My first cover using SPC700 samples!

This is the main theme to the Atari Games classic, Paperboy!

For this cover, I did something I never done before, I ripped SPC700 samples from two different SNES games to get the instruments I needed. Specifically, Paperboy 2, the direct sequel to Paperboy, and HyperZone, due to the fact there where no samples for snare drums or high-hats. The rest of the samples however where from Paperboy 2, hopefully making this cover sound like what an SNES port of the original Paperboy might've sounded like.

A little side note I discovered; The slap bass sample used the Paperboy 2 was taken from the Korg M1 MIDI keyboard. The same sample was also used in the familiar Seinfeld theme! So if the music from PB2 ever made you think "NO SOUP FOR YOU", then now you know!
