That's right. Do you or do you not have the video-game style song
uploaded somewhere. If so, where?

Not knowing what "Zelda" means is rather unforgivable for a gaming nerd,
given that, for example, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is generally
considered one of the best games ever (and most later Zelda games do not
rank very low in overall top lists either).

Good thing I'm not a gaming nerd then, eh? ;-)
Gaming is _not_ my area of expertise. I never claimed it was. Ask me
what the difference between a deterministic and a nondeterministic
Turing machine is and I can tell you. Ask me what the name of that
racing game I saw my sister playing on her PS3 last weekend is and I
wouldn't have a clue...

Maybe for *you* it was. You're not the one who just lost a whole 10
points. o_O

I have several tracks uploaded, I'm just trying to figure out which one
you might mean. ;-)
(I have two recordings which are of actual computer games - but I'm
pretty sure I've never posted either of those here.)

Ok, trivia question: What's the name of this character:

(Hint: No, it's not Zelda.)

And just so you know: If you'd ordered yesterday, you could have "every
game id software has ever released" for $34. (Instad of about $300,
which is what you'll now have to pay since the special offer is over.)
I was vaguely tempted, but I figured I've already *got* Quake 2 and
Doom, so why bother?

I love games like Flashback and Oddessy. Back then, it must have been
quite some task to produce games like this. Today it would seem quite
easy. So I wonder... why is nobody doing this?
(Oddessy is graphically rich, but the very low resolution is quite
annoying. Also the sound is quite grainy too. Which is a shame really.
They thought up such wonderful environments, it's a pitty you can't see
and hear them in crisp, clear detail.)
