Summary
Game Covers is a collection video game cover songs by MR4. Some of the tracks are true covers meaning they do not alter from the original source material.  Other tracks are more derivative and mix different motifs together.  The selected works are primarily from the 90s.

Liner Notes
This project began in 2011 as a training exercise to get familiar with Pro Tools. I had created a couple cover songs and after very little thought, I decided to do an entire album worth of video game cover songs. I had created ten tracks and then shelved the project. I returned to it in 2014 to try and improve it. All I ended up doing was altering the songs without actually improving them, A little trick I learned from George Lucas. Similar to my other music projects during this time, Game Covers went through development hell due to my lack of production experience. In 2018 Game Covers was once again in the works to be given the stamp of completion.
