American instrumental band based in Athens, Georgia. Performs the soundtracks of vintage NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis video games while a player completes a real-time speedrun of the corresponding game. Performances have included full-game runs of The Legend of Zelda, Mega Man 2, Mega Man 3, Castlevania, Contra, Metroid, and DuckTales.
The instrumental band — typically a five- or six-piece — releases studio recordings of these performances, with a soundtrack album dedicated to each game. The format combines progressive-rock musicianship with the unpredictability of live speedrunning.
