Track 05 on The Gamer Generation
Made in FLStudio 8 and Adobe Audition 3

Definitely one of my most popular tracks. At least the one people mention when I talk to them. It is a little anthem to all the gamers out there, especially those of you that may suffer just a little from nostalgia from that time way back you were playing Super Mario 64 in your room.

The days of going to Newgrounds Audio portal. Such a great time.

@SkullBones66

Everytime I listen to this song, I always get chills. Not only for how good it is, but how much it reminds me of my childhood and how much the song still means to me to this day

@BluePineapple06

Nearly 15 years old, still slaps as hard as the day it was made. Truly the timeless anthem of Video Gaming. Here’s to the future of the armchair warriors!

@SampullMC

Sitting here in the beginning of 2023 and thinking if when i was a kid and i used to just sit and listen to this song for hours

@affepung

Remember I listened to this song many, many years ago. I completely forgot about it as time flew by and I suddenly came across this song again today. Incredible that a song can recall so many good memories, and I just want to say thank you for making this song.

@ClashmedTeodor

17 years later and i still get nostalgia from listening to this and the best thing is that your still alive man i remember when i first heard this song and it was a video called if super mario characters were real and it featured this song thank you for being part of my chlidhood

@DARKNESSX7819

I couldn’t help but cry uncontrollably listening to this song when I found it again, good grief .. I miss the younger me, but honestly .. I’m glad I grew up with songs like yours- and I hope others find this masterpiece aswell!

@nichollasvv

Damn, that is a really long time i didn’t heard this song. I was just going through random songs and then i saw this song, and i was like: Is it what i think it is? And it was. Damn i’m so happy to hear this song again after a looong time. Cheers from Czech Republic, you did incredible job on this song, this is awesome. Live long and play games until you can, good luck to all of you here and who are reading this.

@tom.v-fj1

I first heard this at 19 and here I am again at 35. Truly a iconic song of the early web. Thank you for the memories

@joshruner1348

omg, I just found this again, haven’t felt so nostalgic for quite some time, used to listen to this all the time when I was a kid…

@joelhelg

Never thought I’d cry to his legendary song, but here I am.

@Lotus-r9j

I’m glad I grew up with this song. I would always sing the shit out of this back in 2010. Thank you for a masterpiece sir.

The Lore

Forever Gamer was one of those spontanious happy accidents that just happened. Never planned, just a burst of creativity one day. A friend of mine, lovingly called Xenomorph online, sent me one of his many FLStudio projects and told me he thought this melody he had made had potential. I thought so too and promised to have a go at it and see where it went. So lyrics were written and a theme emerged. A song about gaming. And that was it basically. I got to work and produced what you hear today. Recorded the vocals on an old RØDE NT1-A microphone and added some sound effects from a few Nintendo games. And to top it all off, the theme from Super Mario as a closer. This was before copyright was a thing, so I didn’t think much of it. Released it on Newgrounds and Youtube – and had a hit on my hands. Fun.

Who is Xenomorph?

Real name is Lars Erling Bolstad, probably my oldest friend. Back when we were kids on the trackers making shitty tunes in FastTracker – I called myself DjDark and he called himself DjLiquid. Then as we got older and had to get serious (riiight) artist names, he ended up being ‘Xenomorph’. He never got passed the amateur hobby aspect of making music and has never released anything publically. You can reach him on our Discord or at his Youtube channel @Bolstad82.

The Original File

We did some digging around, and found the original file. It was on both our drives still actually, I just didnt remember what it was called. So we downloaded FlStudio 6 and got it exported to mp3. Good or bad, here it is. History must be preserved.

The Lyrics

I remember a time that I was sitting alone.
And playing my Amiga at home.
Gaming Maniac Mansion and Lotus Turbo,
And U.F.O Enemy Unknown.
Sitting on my ass – doing nothing at all.
But managing in Ports of Call.
No chance in hell I would ever ever get bored of;
Killing NVA in Dogs of War.

Yeah, I’m a gamer forever.
I’m gaming whatever.
Together with my lads ’til I die.
I’m gaming forever.
I’m gaming whatever.
Together with my ladies ’til I die.

Yeah, I’m a gamer forever.
I’m gaming whatever.
Together with my lads ’til die.
A gamer forever,
I’m gaming whatever.
Together with my friends ’til I die.
Yeah, I’m a gamer forever.
I’m gaming whatever.
Together with my lads ’til I die.
I’m gaming forever.
I’m gaming whatever.
Together with my ladies ’til I die.

I remember a time that I was sitting alone.
And playing my Amiga at home.
Gaming Maniac Mansion and Lotus Turbo,
And U.F.O Enemy Unknown.
Sitting on my ass – doing nothing at all.
But managing in Ports of Call.
No chance in hell I would ever ever get bored of;
Killing NVA in Dogs of War.

Yeah, I’m a gamer forever.
I’m gaming whatever.
Together with my lads ’til die.
A gamer forever,
I’m gaming whatever.
Together with my friends ’til I die.
Yeah, I’m a gamer forever.
I’m gaming whatever.
Together with my lads ’til I die.
I’m gaming forever.
I’m gaming whatever.
Together with my ladies ’til I die.
