People tend to dismiss chiptune as "video game music," as if that were ever a bad thing to begin with. Despite the primitive electronic sounds associated with the genre, I have encountered few others which instill such a powerful sense of adventure and wonder in the listener. At least, that's how the music plays to my personal sensibilities. I'm just glad that it exists.
I think it was Ayako Saso who, with a smile, reminisced that in the early days of video game music (not only paraphrasing here, but working across language boundaries), "There's nowhere else you can find sounds so pure -- so cheap." And I think that's really the key. When you strip everything down to the most basic waveforms and percussive sounds, there is no other option than to create an amazing melody and harmonize it best you can with whatever other limitations you have.

They were the best of the best. Only the most elite out of all the jet-fighters would make it. They would help answer distress calls and clear out situations when things got too out of hand for the Intergalactic Forces. They were never reported to be that big, only 100 or so members are known to exist, and I'm one. Those were the days. We called ourselves... **THE ZETA FORCE**
I have a little program called "Beepdealer" that has a few chiptunes on it, one of them is Zeta Force Level 2, thats how I discovered this :D The coolest thing is that it loops the song infinitely because its being generated in real time :D I've had it for so many years, but this is my first time hearing the whole album from zabutom!
In a deck of crime cards, the one you draw first being the one someone did isn't so great. For all our chances per space probe im talking about it's better with more. We should get those getting out there.

Chiptune is massively underappreciated in the realm of music.

i really love how this album always keeps a relaxed sort of feeling to it while still being exciting
Zeta Force Level 2 never gets old.
so true
They were the best of the best. Only the most elite out of all the jet-fighters would make it. They would help answer distress calls and clear out situations when things got too out of hand for the Intergalactic Forces.

**THE ZETA FORCE**
Someone watched one too many Saturday-morning cartoon intros.
the one that started it all,this made me a chiptune fan.
i love this music and the composers like. zabutom,anamanaguchi,disasterpiece and slime girls.

Inspired album! I have it on repeat almost all day :D
Zabuton, the king of 16 bit!

Glistening gemerald
The techno boss soundtrack is so powerfull! DAMN i'm so greatfull it pops up in my randomized playlist!
disasterpeace and anamanaguchi maybe had the best chiptune but this legend introduce me to this musical genere
disasterpeace is really good but imo fearofdark is the best chiptune artist

The intro to the first one has some sounds and rhythms that remind me of the ambient parts of the mirrors edge ost.

7:21 Shot by a fucking n.....
I want to make a game with this music. :)
This album and Alex Mauer's Vegavox.
7:21 - Please excuse the language, it's very sensitive
first 2 my fav
I have a little program called "Beepdealer" that has a few chiptunes on it, one of them is Zeta Force Level 2, thats how I discovered this :D The coolest thing is that it loops the song infinitely because its being generated in real time :D I've had it for so many years, but this is my first time hearing the whole album from zabutom!
where did you find that "Beepdealer" I am unable to find it...
@EP it's just a mystery, maybe someone knows
Closest I could find is "Brain Debris by zabutom / beepdealers
"
