      Let's chat about some music from video games or sounds like it came from a video game.

      Here's one I made: https://clyp.it/d3keookl
      It's a mixture of chiptune and melodic (piano)

        Very nice! The waves washing in and out between the two styles ties them together very well. Do you work in music?

                I give the Oscar to Japan Music Artists ☺

                Starting with all the great SEGA Soundtracks (Outrun, Shenmue).
                Also awesome: a lot of Konami, Raizing, Capcom & Taito Music.
                And there is Final Fantasy, Part 7 is often mentioned when regarding outstanding VG - Music.

                Another one: the Amiga -Soundtrack of Sensibles "Cannonfodder". Amazing! Reggae/Ska with vocals ("War has never been so much Fun" 😂)

                  "Shadow of the Colossus" is IMHO one of the best Soundtracks in category "Videogames".

                  Oh, must be real Retro ? Well in that case: "Hotline Miami"

                  Have a nice day,

                    It's got to be the amazing amiga version of Turrican 2. If it's chip tune then Robocop on the spectrum.

                          If you like Robocop on the spectrum you might like this cover/remake:

                          https://allisterbrimble.bandcamp.com/track/robocop

                          The album is great (I'm a little biased as I helped with it by splitting up the original AY tracks for use in the tunes)

                          Gameboy version of Robocop is excellent - that was the version used in the old Ariston adverts afair. I have that as the ringtone on my phone.

                          Love Turrican 2 also - great soundtrack.

                          (obligatory link to the music on my exotica site - ogg/mp3: https://www.exotica.org.uk/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special%3AModland&ss=1&title=Special%3AModland&md=search&mod=turrican+2*mdat&modx=1&aut=&for=tfmx&forx=1&col=&ins= / wiki page - https://www.exotica.org.uk/wiki/Turrican_II_-_The_Final_Fight)

                              Clearly you're unfamiliar with the Donkey Kong Country or Killer Instinct or Final Fantasy VI(III)

                                      FZero has so nice musics (Mute city, Big blue).
                                      I especially remember the moon level theme of Duck Tales too.
                                      Space harrier theme, outrun, ... So many of them are great!
                                      Not counting all FF, Zelda and Mario of course...

                                      I don't have any interest in this, but let me share this webradio one more time :

                                        I seriously love the Earthbound title song. AMAZING! Releasing a remix of that soon.

                                          @SutterKane Hotline Miami is boss. The gerne Outrun is personally my favorite in Synthwave, which is why I've created lotsa songs similar to the Hotline Miami Soundtrack.
