About
This is a subreddit for all those games you played in your youth which had soundtracks worthy of sitting and doing nothing but listening for half an hour! The beauty of the SID chip, the glorious 3 channel Spectrum tones, the Amiga, the ST, Genesis and SNES just to name a few. If you still love that song post it here for others to enjoy!
Rules
- Place the title of the game and the name of the system in the title of the post.
- Video game covers are allowed, but professional quality only. For amateur-ish covers, try /r/gamecovers instead.
- Only post retro game music. What is retro? All consoles that are 5th generation or earlier. If it's 6th gen, Dreamcast or later, then it's considered modern.

International Karate (retracked)
IK rewritten from scratch on a C64 using SDI tracker. I had to listen to the original a bunch of times to get it right. Took about two weeks of tinkering.

16-bit music video
I wrote a song in Italo-disco style. It's awesome and dancefloor-tested! Now I want to release it and make a music video with a vibe like Sega/Nintendo 16-bit games (kind of a tribute to the 1971 movie Duel). Where should I start? Where can I find creators who make these kinds of videos and like-minded people? I’m totally new to this.

I've always hated the music for the boss rush at the end of MMII since it constantly switches between the typical boss theme and wily stage 3-5 music. I decided to layer each boss's stage theme on top of the typcial boss music which would change depending on which boss you were fighting (with Wily stage 1 playing in the hub area). Thought it turned out pretty sick!
