Nintendo (NES) versions of DT songs

[black_biff_stadler]

We did a version that goes farther back than NES, it's based off Intellivision sounds:

We also did Inty covers of songs by Porcupine Tree, Metallica, and lots more.

Sounds fucking awesome. Ktulu would've scared me shitless if I'd heard it in a game when I was little.

One thing that slightly bothers me about these "NES" / "8-bit" remixes is that they're really not. Running a MIDI file through a soundfont of square waves doesn't make it truly sound like the old consoles at all.

They had a limitation of 4 channels of sound, one of which was the drum track (which could do either the click or the pop or the fuzz at once, but not all at once), and they didn't really use frequencies as low as metal songs do.

Rarely do I hear someone actually arrange a song properly to work within the actual limitations that the hardware had. To me that's half of the fun and the challenge. Hearing something that the NES could legitimately play, not just something that uses bleeps and bloops (although I do love the bleeps and bloops).

I love you. No homo.

Right with you guys on this one.
I do Famitracker remixes, was going to try my hand at some DT.
