I've been all over chiptunes lately and this addictive song from 8 Bit Weapon is a prime example of just how video game music has advanced and even somehow evolved into something greater than it originally was. If you're unfamiliar, "chiptune" refers to music composed using video game sound chips. For instance, according to 8 Bit Weapon's website they're named after "their arsenal of 8 bit weapons: Commodore 64 and 128, Apple II, couple Nintendo Gameboy classics, Nintendo N.E.S., Amiga 1200, Intellivision synthesizer, Atari 2600, Speak n Spell & Speak n Music, some hybrid lo-fi acoustic-electric drums, and an assortment of other vintage and toy synthesizers." It all really comes together in this song and I constantly have it floating around in my head.

If you're interested in hearing more check out the Chiptunes Station at Shoutcast.com or just use the player below. If you already love video game music like I do I also recommend the RadioSEGA.net station as well. Good times.
