I'm one of the three composers on the game Retro City Rampage. It has just been nominated for excellence in audio by the Independent Games Festival (basically the Sundance/Cannes for gaming). We've decided to run a remix competition for the theme song and even give out the actual source file for the song !
virt's source .it file made in ModPlug : http://bit.ly/hPEDXi (http://bit.ly/hPEDXi)
I've been working in videogames since '94 and was lucky enough to score the multi-award winning Canadian documentary The Corporation and can definitely say that this could be an amazing opportunity to anyone wishing to enter the videogame industry. The competition will be hard as we are sending out the invite to many talented composers around the world. We look forward to hearing your mixes!

norrin radd and virt are excellent. I'll def look into your works and maybe try this out. Thanks!
Absolutely masterful work!
I think any Remixing would only detract from it. Highly recommend everyone to give it a listen. For chip tune enthusiast it's essential.
Any of ya gonna be at Blip this May?

@residentgrey: I don't think any of us will be at Blip this year. We'll be putting out a full soundtrack near when the game gets launched on XBLA this summer though.
