Play The Game (with Andy Gibb)
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: Unreleased
There is a rumored version of Play The Game that
features Andy Gibb doing some sort of vocal work with Queen. It is still
unknown if this has ever existed or if the tapes have survived over the
years.

Dragon Attack (Hollywood
Records 1991 Remix) 4:22
Written by Brian May, Remixed by R.A.K. and Jack Benson
Appears on: The
Game Hollywood Remaster (1991)
Not a bad remix.
Starts with audio samples, sounds effects, and a Freddie vocal loop. Includes
a pretty neat backbeat that fits the song well. Brian's guitar solos are
removed and an added rap was included by some random rapper. Actually
not that bad, except for the rap part.
Dragon Attack (The eYe Version) 4:22
Written by Brian May
Appears on: Queen:
The eYe
From the Electronic Arts videogame, Queen: The eYe. A full instrumental
of the album version with some interesting remixing here and there of
some drum and bass bits.
Dragon Attack (Early Demo) 3:01
Written by Brian May
Appears on: Unreleased
This track premired at the 19th International Fan Club Convention in Prestatyn.
Possibly from the Jazz sessions. Mostly instrumental with some shouts,
little guitar, and the Dragon Attack bass loop.

Another One Bites The Dust (Ogilvie Remix) 6:00
Written by John Deacon
Appears on: Hollywood
Records Freakshow Sampler
Another Hollywood
Remix that for some reason was ommitted from The Game 1991 re-release.
This is basically an Electronic/Dance mix of the song. Includes samples
of Bohemian Rhapsody. Not really worth finding and not worth spending
the money for the Freakshow CD.
Another One
Bites The Dust (Long Dusted B-Boy Version) 10:40
Written by John Deacon
Appears on: Hollywood BASIC Beat Sampler
This
sampler was issued to promote the then-forthcoming (ultimately unreleased)
collection of remixes called Queen: The BASIC Bootlegs. A very, very long
remix which is just wild, sampling everything you could think of (radio
commercials, other Queen songs, old funk and soul songs) and adding some
rap segments and redoing the backing track. At times it drifts so far
away from the original as to be an entirely different thing, and then
it somehow makes it way back. This mix is not for purists, but is strangely
not very repetitive and is more listenable than a lot of remixes of this
song.

to hear the remixed parts.

This
version has absolutely no instrumentation, just Wyclef, Freddie, Pras,

end, and throughout the track. Kind of interesting.

(Team 1 Black Rock Star Main Pass Mix) 4:50
Written by John Deacon

Appears on: Queen
+ Wyclef Jean Another One Bites The Dust CD single
The best of the
Wyclef Jean mixes by far. The backing track of the original song has been
maintained more, with the bass riff being looped. The track starts with
a vocal intro by Wyclef pondering if he can be a black rockstar. All of
Wyclef's and Freddie's parts from the LP version have been maintained.
I recommend this one over the LP version, just because more of the original
song is maintained. Some of Brian's guitars even come through now and
again.

An effective

a little better than the full version just because there is little filler.

This is an energetic remix that speeds up the

this isn't bad and whole song seems to be in there.

This is a calmer remix from the Miami Project,
with some spacey synthesizers and effects. It runs a bit long, but isn't
too bad.

There are times in this remix when it doesn't
seem to know what it's doing or where it's going, but not quite in the
fun way a mix like the Long Dusted B-Boy version does. When you need to
change everything up every 30 seconds to keep the mix going, you might
want to ask yourself if you're accomplishing what you set out to do.

I
guess the unwritten rule of the dance remix is: The longer, the better.
This remix is long and as you would expect, it's rather repetitive. Repetition
is not bad if it's something worth repeating. The original is such a simple,
catchy song, that two things will grow out of its success: a lot of remixes
and a lot of remixes like this one. They all start to sound the same and
this one sounds the most the same.

There
are no verses to the song, just "Another one bites the dust" sampled over

as anything Queen.

A
neat mix from the excellent DVD-Audio disc of The Game. This mix was basically
made out of necessity, for the original master tapes had been lost. Without
these original tapes, a 5.1 channel mix with the necessary effects would
have been impossible. So instead, Brian found recordings from another
session to replace the missing tape. The infamous missing tape was of
Roger's backing vocal at the beginning of the track. The track is exactly
the same as the old album version except for Roger's opening vocals. Neat
curiousity and quite surprising if you don't expect it.

Great B-side featuring Roger on vocals and

Backing vocals are Roger, Freddie, and Brian. Definitely worth finding on
MP3 or on the 7" vinyl. This of course will finally appear on CD for
the Queen Anthology release.
