8 Bit Music

Are you an 80s child who grew up loving computer games like Goonies and Super Mario? Or were you a Game Boy slave in the 90s? If yes then you'd probably have a place in your heart for 8 Bit Music, otherwise known as chipstyle sounds. Can't figure out what I'm talking about? I couldn't embed the song file here but you can click here to listen to the music sampler. Prepare to be taken back to the good old days...

The song is produced by Random, and you can view his artist profile by clicking here. He is one of the 11 crew of this cool website 8BitPeoples, where their ultimate goal is to "just have fun".

According to the website:

"The 8bitpeoples first came together in 1999 as a collective of artists sharing a common love for classic videogames and an approach to music which reflected this obsession. Our primary interests were to provide quality music for free and most importantly to have fun."

But then you've got to see it to believe it. So go check the site.

Random also has his own website so don't forget to check it out: Random.se

Random's music sampler hosted at 8BitCollective. If you go to the site, you'd be surprised at the large number of music submissions. Darn, I can't believe I almost missed out on this really cool website.

Minus The Crash-Bang-Pow!

I couldn't believe it either, but a flash game could actually work without the crash-bang-pow killer synth sounds! If you play Music Catch, the first impression would be it's another one of those Carpal Tunnel Syndrome-inducing games, but it's not. It's so relaxing, you won't even mind if you don't score high points. It's like enjoying a kaleidoscope of different colours and shapes. The music and graphics are just fantastic and they kind of lull you to the point where you just stare blankly at the screen, enjoying the pink, blue, green and yellow objects that float. Definitely not the game to play in the middle of work, but definitely a good source of relaxation after a day's shenanigans.

You actually unlock songs and other options with a high score so yeah, I think it's also a plus to score high on this game :-)

I've embedded the game here on this blogpost but since the game is too big for my page layout, you can only see half of the screen. But at least you get the whole idea why it's nice. Better to just play Music Catch by clicking here!
