Description:
Ordinary songs get ordinary titles. This isn't such a song.
"---" (or "Hyphens," if you prefer) is my first attempt at an NSF tracker. It draws a bit from Mega Man and other games but still has its own feel. The piece took only three days to make, and in the process I learned a lot about the capabilities and limitations of sound on the NES. Typically, I have some issues with percussion when I write music, but I'm actually pretty satisfied with how it turned out here. I don't really know how to describe the rest—you'll just have to listen.
How to use in Zelda Classic 2.50:
Unlike MIDI files, tracker files have to be loaded directly to a DMap. First, make sure the NSF file is placed in the Zelda Classic directory. In ZQuest, edit the appropriate DMap (Quest→DMaps, then select a DMap), then click the "Music" tab. Under "Enhanced Music," press "Load," then navigate to where you saved the file. This should be all you have to do.
Please enjoy, as always.

Very nice! Brings to mind Kirby's Dream Land / Kirby's Adventure, and Mega Man 3 / Mega Man 5, and lastly Donkey Kong Country (Fear Factory). This is a difficult rating for me. On the one hand I wish it went longer before it looped, and had a bit more variety, but on the other hand NES music usually didn't go very long before looping. I'll just go with 4 1/2 stars. I like how it has a very robotic / industrial / hectic sound, I've been looking for a frantic, exciting paced song like this. Would like to see more in this vein.
