Favourite NES chiptunes
 

Chiptunes aka 8-bit music

Nintendo games had ridiculously awesome catchy melodies. Simple loops repeating created so many awesome fond music memories. Obviously the classics are great (Mario Bros, Zelda, etc) but what are some of your favourite lesser-known ones?

One of my favourite soundtracks has always been Ironsword. Yeah, the game with Fabio on the cover. Whatever. Great tunes. Of course, because David Wise composed them (he did most of the Donkey Kong Country games which IMO are the best soundtracks of any franchise)

Some samples of my favs from the game:

lots more but don't wanna clog..

Also loved the 8 Eyes soundtrack. Another unheralded game (basically a Castlevania clone) that had some catchy tunes

Post some of yoursz

Sometimes I go on a binge of pop music recreated into chiptunes. Metallica fits very well.

8 Eyes had an awesome soundtrack.

I'm partial to the Tecmo Super Bowl music. Especially the intro.

Not really a favorite but memorable for being a piece of shit.

Game sucked. Not even the real theme song. :n: :n: :n: :rant: :mad:

Fuck the bomb level.

The Pussy who created the playlist disabled comments probably because they shit on how bad the game was.

Can't believe this isn't here already.
