Anyone here like 8-bit music. I've heard complete songs redone in only 8-bit, Stairway to Heaven for example, and a lot of house/dance/techno sample it, anyone have any good examples?

The DJ Teisto song is a regular song, they just sampled 8-bit game sounds for a lot of it.

Yeah, I also enjoy watching movies on my old CGA monitor (circa 1986) or driving my late-70s Corvette with a couple dozen horsepower (hey, that's a joke, I would never drive one of those pieces of shit).

Are you kidding? There's a reason we've all evolved past the Pong stage!!!!!

They're standalone executables, you just run the program.

That stuff was mildly amusing in a very geeky way twenty five years ago when it was new and cutting edge. Today it is just annoying and hokey. My guess is that very few people who enjoy 8-bit anything these days gets laid often, at least when they aren't paying for it.

ETA: After rereading my post, I just realized how nasty that sounded, it was meant in a very joking manner, I wasn't attempting to be a dick.

It's a viable alternative to mp3's for those that still only have dialup.
