[Music] 8-bit nostalgia!

[Uwibami]

I'll have to apologize if this topic has been made before, a quick search gave me no hits.

Anyways, I was watching something on youtube today, and came across a video which started with what I'd call an 8-bit track. Which I've noticed that lately those seem to have become popular.


So I thought to myself, what kind of music have people made in 8-bit? To my surprise, there's a ton out there!
Listening to the different songs, gave me all kinds of nostalgia orgasms, simply because they all reminded me of the old school consol music.


Being a massive Daft Punk fan, I had to try to find something in 8-bit. So here's something for you guys to enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNJpMkgFfzA


But now my question for you is, have you fallen over an 8-bit track of an old song you love? Do you get the nostalgic orgasms aswell? Post your thoughts, and the links, and let the rest of us enjoy them aswell!

8-bit "remixes" are cool as long as they're not GXSCC bullshit. (For those of you that don't know, "GXSCC" is a program that takes a MIDI file and turns it into "8-bit" with the click of a button, but it doesn't sound like 8-bit, and countless people use this program and post videos on youtube saying it's "8-bit" when it's not. Even worse are people claiming they created the music/remix...)

Normal 8-bit remix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFgbo...eature=related
Zero-effort GXSCC "remix": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOjVx...eature=related

See the difference? I dunno, maybe it's just me, but it just annoys me when people use GXSCC and claim "8-bit".

Anyways, some more Daft Punk for you, using Famitracker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b17VlMagmHE

I can definitely hear the difference, though I must admit in some cases I can't figure out whether it's an actual 8-bit or a GXSCC remix.

But none the less, here's some chocolate rain! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caIBKOztlAo

This youtube channel here has a few well-known songs arranged in Mario Paint Composer. Awesome 8-bit sound, and it's fun to watch the notes fly by

My favourite is Black Eyed Peas - I Gatta Feeling

Gotta get past the first few seconds of the single note then its incredible.

Found this again recently. Easily the most under rated 8bit track ever
