USB Connector Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 How about songs made on Mario Paint (a super Nintendo game)? So while it wasn't made on an NES, it's made on the console that came right after. Here are some of my favourites: 2112 (Overture/Temples): Afterimage: YYZ: Dreamline: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savagegrace26 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) This has always had a Rush/Limelight vibe to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTqp7jUBoA8 Someone should do an 8-bit remix of Limelight using this particular sound set from this track.

len(songs) Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 All of them were good (apart from CTTH, where the arrangement didn't translate well IMO), but the Permanent Waves ones were the best IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del_Duio Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 These are cool, but a lot aren't really true 8-bit. They're just MP3's run through a filter program to assign 8-bit sfx to the instruments. I know because I have the same filter at home, it's fun to mess around with but it's not perfect. To remake a song from scratch in 8-bit is a lot harder to accomplish. :codger: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones I posted are 16 bit (made on a SNES).The tracks made for actual 8-bit consoles are incredibly impressive because you couldn't get 4 overlaying sounds in them. You couldn't even make percussive sounds in many cases. I remember reading up on how the music was made for the original pokemon games on the first Game Boy which talked about how they made it sound like more was going on musically than they actually had to work with. It's amazing that we got as many memorable tunes as we did when the technology was so limited and difficult to work with compared to composing with actual instruments.

savagegrace26 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 This is massive 8-bit prog rock right here...check it out. Compare the astounding sound quality accomplished here with those weak sounding Rush midi transfers posted above. Chiptunes were capable of amazing things despite their programming limitations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
