like a main "blip blop"-genre and within it there are chiptunes which word should stop being used for the whole phenomena and only when technically, the tune is made on a primitive sound chip and you'd say "this blipblop-tune is also a chiptune" about an lsdj-tune and "this blipblop-tune is free form".

more chiptune cuteness, this time with a cheeky snatch of 'come as you are' by nirvana hanging around near the end, and a typical catchy bass+lead combo heading everything out front.

For a chiptune, the sound quality is very good - all instruments were well chosen and even better executed.
There is of course a multitude of effects used throughout the track (common to many chiptunes), all were perfectly executed.
The track would be great in an early 90's action platformer game, the song is easily loopable and certainly has that kind of feel to it.

They're important because they celebrate the chiptune even in a time when musicians had migrated to PCs, so they had plenty of memory to make tunes with big samples.
But people still loved the chiptune sound and size, and these packs were very important in keeping that sound alive, along with mutating them in a more electronica/techno direction at times.

But even neater still is a NES + VOPM track called FX3 Preview [.MP3], in which all kinds of insane retro shapes are thrown.
Possibly the chiptune release of the year so far, and it's just a dump of some in-progress live tracks - we fear for our children if Virt, who currently works for Gameloft on cellphone soundtracks, ever gets it together to release an album.

In other news, I’m putting together a giggable rack rig on rolly wheels so I can get all my chiptune junk to and from NYC in one piece, and just plug in and go instead of wiring up 850 million cables and praying I didn’t forget anything.
In hindsight, the Katamari bassline is way off because at the time I’d never heard the song outside my bassless TV, but I think we can agree I fixed it in the chiptune version a couple months later.
