Awesome stuff, guys. I'll represent retro/chip music: I'm involved in the niche hobby of writing new music with old videogame hardware. The music you are hearing was programmed in notepad using a TurboGrafx 16 (PC Engine). It's meant to combine Capcom and Konami videogame soundtracks of the late 80s, hence the weird title. I perform this music live in NYC, with guitars and lasers. I got awesome advice on Ask MeFi about how to get my equipment to shows, and as thanks I'll share my stuff with whoever might enjoy it. More of it is at my site, and my friends who also do this share it also.

Great stuff. I just realised you're the guy I got the version of Thriller on a NES from, and for that I thank you.

That is some seriously funky synth bass about a third of the way through.

Also, this is ridiculously cool. Not just the technical aspect of it, but the song sounds like a legit video game tune.

The music you are hearing was programmed in notepad using a TurboGrafx 16 (PC Engine)

That sentence is the most surreal thing I've read all week.

This song is the most enjoyable thing I've heard all week.

Color me impressed in 16 bit color.

That solo bit in the middle; does it count as guitar wankery?

Totally awesome.

The A Capella version of the Bubble Bobble theme makes me weak at the knees. Brilliant.

I am way late, and I am damn sorry that I did not witness this.

I usually hate music that sounds like this...

... but fuck if I didn't enjoy this one hell of a lot. It was bringing me back to my childhood, playing those old classic Capcom and Konami games (who owned me as a child, when Nintendo didn't have custody). So yeah, well done. This is 1/2 great, 1/2 nostalgia which, unless my math fails me, equals awesome.

I am using the power of time travel to point out that I still think this is fantastic.
